Do I need Ejari for a trade licence?

Yes — a registered commercial Ejari for your business premises is normally required for a Dubai trade-licence renewal, as premises proof. It’s the record that shows your company holds a genuine tenancy of the premises.

How it works

The authority renewing your licence wants evidence of your premises — a registered commercial Ejari provides it. We prepare and file that Ejari (offices, shops, warehouses); the licence renewal itself is done by the relevant authority or your PRO. If you don’t lease real premises and are looking for a “virtual” address, read this first. To file, use the trade-licence Ejari or commercial Ejari.
