Before licenceIFZA (Dubai)Read the authority’s process note
Approval must be obtained before the license is issued; this means that you will submit the license application and once it reaches the final stage, we will get the approval from the authority without any additional cost or documentation. Please allow 8 - 10 additional working days for the license to be issued with approval.
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.
- Department of Petroleum Affairs (Ruler's Court) 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.
