What Is an Establishment Update in the UAE
Ensuring Your Business Records Remain Legally Accurate
An establishment update in the UAE is the official process of modifying registered business information with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP).
It is required when a company changes key details such as its trade name, legal structure, authorised signatory, ownership, business activity, or registered address. Timely updates ensure that labour records, establishment cards, and linked government systems remain accurate, preventing fines or service disruptions.
Through EGSH, an authorised Tasheel centre, all updates are verified for compliance, processed through official channels, and completed within two working days — ensuring uninterrupted business operations and complete alignment with UAE regulations.

What is an establishment card in Dubai?
An establishment card in the UAE is an official document issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP). It contains a company’s registration details and authorises the business to hire employees, apply for work permits, and carry out labour-related transactions. The establishment card is linked to the company’s trade licence and must remain valid for the business to operate legally in the UAE.
In which cases is it necessary to update an existing establishment in the UAE?
The establishment card must be updated whenever there are changes to its registered details. Common cases include: — Change in trade name or legal structure. — Modification of business activities. — Update of company address or lease contract details. — Replacement or addition of an authorised signatory. Updating ensures that the company’s records with MOHRE, ICP, and other government entities remain accurate and compliant. EGSH, as an authorised Tasheel centre, facilitates these updates through official channels, ensuring full regulatory compliance.
How to update an establishment card in the UAE?
Updating an establishment card involves submitting an application with the revised company details and supporting documents to MOHRE via an authorised channel. The process typically includes: — Ensuring that the trade licence reflects any required amendments. — Providing an updated lease agreement (if the address changes). — Submitting a copy of the current establishment card, Emirates ID, and other required documents. — Paying the applicable government fees. Through EGSH, an authorised Tasheel centre integrated with MOHRE and ICP systems, all updates are verified, submitted via official systems, and completed within two working days.
What documents are required for an MOHRE establishment update?
For an MOHRE update of establishment details, the following documents are typically required: — A valid trade licence issued by the relevant licensing authority. — A clear copy of both sides of the establishment card issued by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security. — A lease contract reflecting updated information and rental value (not required for virtual establishments). — A copy of both sides of the Emirates ID for citizens and residents, or a residence visa copy showing the unified number for expatriates. — Partners' Addendum for incorporated establishments (if applicable). EGSH ensures all documents meet MOHRE requirements and submits them through authorised channels for timely processing.
How can I check the status of my establishment card in Dubai?
To check the status of your establishment card in Dubai, visit the MOHRE website or Smart App, log in via UAE Pass, and open your establishment profile to view the current status and expiry date.
Do I need to update the company details in Dubai in case of an authorised signatory change?
Any change in the authorised signatory requires updating the company details with MOHRE and other relevant authorities to maintain valid legal records. EGSH, as an authorised Tasheel centre, processes these amendments in compliance with UAE regulations.
What is the expected timeframe for an MOHRE establishment card update?
An establishment card update is typically completed within two working days once all documents and approvals are in place.
Can I update my company establishment card online?
You can update your labour establishment card online through the MOHRE website or Smart App by logging in with UAE Pass and submitting the required documents.
