Conditions, time and validity

- An authorised signatory at MOHRE must also be an authorised signatory in the immigration establishment card (ICP/GDRFA).
- The licensee or service agent must be at least 18 (new file) or 21 (file update, per MOHRE page); guardians sign for minors.
- The economic department must first record the change (new partner or manager) on the trade licence.
- Processing time
- MOHRE (establishment file update): 2 working days.
- Validity of the result
- The person record stays until changed; the establishment card is updated.
- Where it is applied for
- MOHRE business service centres (Tasheel), MOHRE website and smart app; the establishment's authorised signatory logs in with UAE PASS. Our centre submits it at Tasheel for you.
Steps at the authority
- Collect the person's Emirates ID/passport and, for a new partner, the amended licence.
- Submit the person transaction at Tasheel and pay.
- MOHRE approves and updates the establishment file.
Tips that save you a trip

Common reasons for rejection or delay
