A trade licence is an official document issued by the DET that authorises a business to carry out specific commercial, professional or industrial activities. It is mandatory for all mainland businesses in Dubai. Without a valid trade licence, you cannot legally operate, invoice clients, sign contracts or access most government and banking services.
To obtain a trade licence in Dubai, you must choose your business activity, select a legal form, reserve a trade name, secure initial approval and submit the required documents through the DET or an authorised service centre such as Dar Alnukhba.
There are three main types of trade licences in Dubai: Commercial Licence (for trading activities), Professional Licence (for service-based businesses), and Industrial Licence (for manufacturing or industrial operations).
A commercial licence covers trading and general business activities, a professional licence is issued for service-based professions (e.g. consultancy), and an industrial licence is required for manufacturing or production-based operations.
You can verify a Dubai trade licence through the official Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism portal. Use the Business Activity Search or the Trade Licence Verification tool by entering the licence number, business name, or registration details.
Yes. The DET offers e-Commerce licences under the commercial category, allowing businesses to sell products or services online. In addition, the e-Trader Licence is available for home-based and online companies operating through digital platforms.
A mainland trade licence is issued by the DET and allows you to operate across Dubai and the wider UAE. A specific free zone authority issues a free zone licence and is generally limited to operating within that jurisdiction.
