The client must apply online through the website https://www.dubaisc.ae/e-service > E-services> Apply for service. We will provide the following documents once application reaches its final stage: • initial approval • Trade Name Reservation • third party approval letter. All other requirements will be mentioned on the link. Duration: 1 Working Day. Charges: Free of Charge. Renewable every year.

Free zone or mainland
- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
- Dubai Sports Council clearance is required before the licence issues, which breaks any advertised same-week timeline.
Also catalogued elsewhere
The same activity name appears in other authority catalogues we track. This is a name match, not a legal equivalence, and Dubai Setup Index does not file in these zones.

Does this activity need third-party approval?
