  1. How to Get a Professional License in Dubai:A Step-by-Step Guide

  2. An Overview Dubai is a thriving destination for professionals and entrepreneurs looking to set up service-based businesses. If you plan to offer consultancy, accounting, IT, or other specialized services, securing a professional license in Dubai, UAE is essential. This license allows individuals and companies to legally operate in the region. Whether you’re a freelancer or launching a new firm, understanding the process is key to ensuring smooth registration. 

  3. What is a Professional License in Dubai? A Professional License is issued to individuals and businesses providing specialized or service-oriented activities. Unlike a commercial license, which covers trading, this license is ideal for consultants, freelancers, and professionals in various industries.

  4. Step-by-Step Process to Obtain a Professional License:

  5. Define Your Business Activity Choose the type of service you want to offer. The Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai has a list of permitted activities under the professional license category.

  6. Select a Trade Name Pick a unique business name that aligns with DED guidelines and does not infringe on trademarks or prohibited terms.

  7. Obtain Initial Approval from DED Submit an application to the DED to get preliminary approval for your business activity and trade name.

  8. Prepare the Required Documents Ensure you have the necessary paperwork, including: • Passport copy of the business owner • Valid visa and Emirates ID (if applicable) • No Objection Certificate (NOC) (if required) • Business plan (in some cases)

  9. Secure an Office Space and Ejari A physical office space is often required, and you must obtain an Ejari (tenancy contract) for business registration.

  10. Submit Your Application for the License File your documents with the DED and pay the applicable fees. License processing typically takes a few working days.

  11. Obtain Additional Approvals Some business activities may require extra approvals from relevant authorities before the license is issued.

  12. Receive Your Professional License Once your application is approved, you will receive your Professional License, allowing you to legally start your business in Dubai.
