Trade Licence Renewal in Dubai
Keep your company licence renewal organised. First Link Dubai checks the issuing authority, expiry date and pending requirements, then coordinates the agreed renewal work for Dubai mainland or free zone businesses.
How we can help
Mainland renewal
For DED/DET licence renewal, we review the existing licence, premises information and authority requests. Changes to activities, partners or legal form need a separate amendment assessment.
Free zone renewal
We coordinate with the issuing free zone using its renewal process and package conditions. A mainland renewal route cannot be assumed to apply to a free zone company.
Outstanding requirements
We identify missing information, expiring premises arrangements and pending approvals before submission. Existing penalties or compliance issues are assessed separately; renewal does not automatically remove them.
Documents to prepare
The initial checklist below is confirmed for your case before submission. Do not upload identity documents through the enquiry form.
- Current trade licence and licence number.
- Expiry date and issuing authority.
- Premises or tenancy documents and current company details, as applicable.
- Shareholder or manager identification and any authority renewal notices, supplied through the agreed document channel.
Processing stages
- Check the licence record, expiry and renewal prerequisites.
- Resolve required document updates or outstanding approvals.
- Review the authority’s payment voucher and our separate professional fee.
- Pay through the authorised channel, obtain the renewed licence and verify the new details.
Preparation, appointments and authority processing are separate stages. Approval and completion dates remain subject to the relevant authority.
Costs and what your quote covers
Trade licence renewal cost depends on the activity and authority. Your quote should identify licence renewal charges, premises-related items where applicable, external approvals, outstanding penalties and our assistance fee. Licence amendments, visas and establishment card renewals are separate transactions unless included.
For Dubai trade licence renewal online, Invest in Dubai provides the official mainland route. Follow the portal’s instructions to review the application and payment request. You can use self-service or ask us to coordinate an authorised application; First Link Dubai is not a government portal.
Your questions answered
Can I renew my DED licence online?
Yes, the official Invest in Dubai renewal service provides an online route. Eligibility and outstanding requirements should be checked against your licence record. Open the official renewal service.
How should I check a Dubai licence renewal payment voucher?
Match the company name and licence number to the record, then check that the voucher concerns renewal and review its charges and payment reference. Use the authorised payment instructions shown in the official Invest in Dubai renewal service. Keep the payment confirmation and verify the renewed licence afterwards. If a reference or amount does not match, clarify it with the issuing authority before paying; our professional fee is identified separately.
How do I pay DED licence renewal fees?
Use the authorised payment route presented by the official renewal service and check the payment reference and company details. Our professional charges are identified separately from authority charges.
Is renewal instant?
A straightforward eligible transaction may complete quickly, but document corrections, approvals and payment issues can delay the overall case. We confirm outstanding prerequisites before estimating completion.
Can you help after the licence has expired?
We can review the status and available next steps. Any penalty, reactivation requirement or other authority decision must be checked against the actual company record.
