Requirements, fees and timelines in the UAE change. Message us on WhatsApp — we'll verify them for your business activity and jurisdiction.

Basic set of documents

Typically required: a copy of the passport, a photo, contact details, name options and a description of the intended activity.

Additional documents

Depending on the jurisdiction and business activity, they may request proof of address, a CV, a degree certificate, an NOC, or documents of a corporate founder.

Verification before submission

It's best to confirm the list for the specific zone and license: requirements are updated and vary between registration authorities.
