Renewing your Dubai trade license is a legal requirement for all companies operating in the UAE. Whether you own an LLC, a professional license, or a commercial company, keeping your trade license active ensures your business can legally operate, renew visas, and maintain bank accounts.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about a Dubai trade license renewal, including steps, requirements, costs, and online renewal options.


What Is a Dubai Trade License?

A Dubai trade license is an official document issued by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET)—formerly DED—that allows you to legally operate a business in Dubai. This license must be renewed annually.

Here’s how you can renew your company’s trade license in Dubai:

Step 1: Ensure All Documents Are Ready

Before renewing, make sure you have:

  • Copy of current trade license

  • Tenancy contract or Ejari (valid for at least 1 month)

  • BR/1 form (Trade license renewal form)

  • Copies of passports of all partners (for LLCs)


Step 2: Submit the Application

Step 3: Make Payment

Once your documents are approved, you’ll receive a payment voucher. Pay the trade license renewal fee online or at an authorized payment center.
