Once the required documents are generated in the final stage (after the license application passes the security check), we will send the documents across to apply for the approval. Register Telecom Supplier (tdra.gov.ae) Requirements: • Initial Approval. • TPA Letter • Valid EID. Duration: 1 working day Charge: 5,500AED for 5 years. Ps. TDRA will issue a trader’s certificate alongside their NOC.

Approval documents

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.
  • Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) 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.
