Trade License Renewal

A Dubai Trade License is a mandatory requirement for conducting business in the UAE and must be renewed annually to maintain legal compliance and operational continuity.

At the time of trade license renewal, you also have the opportunity to amend your license to reflect changes in your business. Whether you’re evolving your services or restructuring your company, this is the ideal moment to update your commercial details.

Simple Guide to Updating Your Business License in Dubai

Letting your business license expire can interrupt operations and lead to avoidable issues. To stay compliant with local regulations, it’s important to renew it on time. Follow these simplified steps to update your business license in Dubai:

Verify your lease agreement:
Before starting the renewal process, confirm that your current lease is valid for at least one more month. If your lease has expired, the license can’t be extended.

Submit your request to the DED:
Complete the BR/1 application form and gather all the required paperwork. Submit everything to the Department of Economic Development (DED), which will conduct a review and respond shortly.

Get your payment notice:
After your documents are approved, the DED will issue a payment slip outlining the fees for the renewal.

Pay the renewal charges:
Once you receive the payment voucher, proceed with the payment to finalize the renewal. Your license will be officially renewed once the payment is confirmed. For added convenience, you can also apply through the DED’s mobile application.
