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.
  • Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
  • Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) 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.

FAQ

Can I add more activities to a Specialized Vehicles Rental licence later?

Usually yes, as a licence amendment, subject to the authority's rules and any extra approval attached to the new line.

Does this activity need third-party approval?

Yes. Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) must clear the activity before the licence issues, so build that step into your timeline.
