Third-party approvals
Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA)
After licenceIFZA (Dubai)Read the authority’s process note
The approval is required from Security Industry Regulatory Agency (previously named protection system management) after license issuance for the first time. For SIRA approvals, we would recommend you approach a SIRA registered agent (Jahangir 056 902 2737 /055 525 5273) who will be assisting you to obtain the approval. Approval is renewable every year. Fees determined by SIRA.
Free zone or mainland
- Both IFZA in Dubai and Ajman Free Zone list this activity, so the choice is a Dubai licence address against a lower package cost.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
- At least one catalogue row carries a third-party approval flag without naming the stage — confirm with the authority before you commit to dates.
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.
