How much is the total fee for renewing a trade licence in Dubai?

The total fee depends on your business activity and licence category, per the official Licensing Categories Decision (LCD). Outlines: Each business type has a specific renewal tariff based on its commercial classification. In addition to the base renewal fee, AED 10 Knowledge Dirham and AED 10 Innovation Dirham are charged per transaction. To find out the exact fee applicable to your licence, consult an EGSH consultant — we will assess your licence details and provide an accurate cost breakdown before submission.

What payment methods are available for trade licence renewal?

You can pay the renewal fee via direct debit through Dubai Islamic Bank, Commercial Bank of Dubai, or Emirates Islamic. Payments by cash or cheque are available at Aafaq Islamic Finance, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and Emirates Islamic.

What happens if I don’t renew my trade licence 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 licence?

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

How often must I renew my trade licence?

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

What is the grace period for licence renewal?

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