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
- 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.
- 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.
