Conditions, time and validity
- Only the licence member can verify their own mobile and email (DET FAQ).
- A licence is usually 'not verified' if at least one member's identity or contact details are not verified.
- Processing time
- Usually the same day (no official time published).
- Validity of the result
- Until the next change.
- Where it is applied for
- DET service centres or the Invest in Dubai portal.
Steps at the authority
- Collect the new contact details and the licence number.
- Submit the update on the portal or at a DET service centre.
- The licence member confirms the one-time codes (or verifies through the DUL portal with UAE PASS).
Tips that save you a trip
- Use a number you will keep: renewal links and fine notices are sent there.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- The mobile or email is not the member's own, so the codes cannot be confirmed.
Questions and answers
Can the PRO's number be on the licence instead of mine?
DET wants each licence member to verify their own mobile and email; a representative can help but should not replace your details.
Checked by the MARIO E.G.S.H team on 2026-10-08. Rules can change at any time; our consultant confirms the details for your case.
Legal basis
Cabinet Resolution No. 109 of 2023 (Article 15: report changes of registered data within 15 days); DET procedures
