How it works

How business verification usually works

A practical sequence for checking a UAE company or licence, whichever official system you end up using.

01

Find the reference

Start with the exact trade name, licence number or DUL number shown on the document you are checking.

02

Open the official source

Use the right system for the jurisdiction - NER UAE-wide, the DUL search for Dubai, or the relevant free-zone or emirate portal.

03

Compare the details

Match the legal name, licence number, issuing authority and activities against what you were given.

04

Review status & authority

Confirm the licence is active, the activities fit, and the issuing authority is the one you expect.

05

Ask if it is unclear

If anything does not line up, submit a request and a verified consultant can review the case with you.

Use these resources as practical guidance

Official systems and public records can change. Use these resources as practical guidance, and confirm important legal, tax or immigration decisions with the relevant authority or a qualified consultant.
