In addition to the base renewal fee, AED 10 Knowledge Dirham and AED 10 Innovation Dirham are charged per transaction.

What happens if I don’t renew my Trade License before the expiry date?

Failure to renew on time may result in penalties, business disruption, and non-compliance with DED regulations. Acting before the expiration date is advisable to avoid fines and legal issues.

How do I check the status of my DED License?

You can check the status of your DED license online through the official DED eServices portal, using your license number or trade name. This service allows businesses to verify license validity, expiry dates, and any pending actions.

How often must I renew my Trade License?

Under UAE commercial regulations, all Dubai trade Licenses must be renewed yearly to maintain their legal validity. Renewal must be completed on or before the license expiry date stated in the current commercial license to avoid fines and business interruption.

What is the grace period for license renewal?

The Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai provides a 30-day grace period after a trade license expires. During this time, businesses can renew their licenses without incurring immediate penalties. However, if the license is not renewed within this period, fines may apply, starting from AED 250 per month of delay. Additionally, operating with an expired license can lead to a fine of AED 5,000 and potential blacklisting of the company.
