- Processing time
- No official time published; usually quick once the renewed licence is available.
- Validity of the result
- Until the licence's next expiry.
- Where it is applied for
- MOHRE website and app (with UAE PASS of the owner or authorised signatory), Tasheel/business service centres and the Tawseel mobile service. The centre types the request at a Tasheel centre or files it online for you.
Steps at the authority
- Renew the trade licence at the economic department.
- Type the MOHRE transaction and pay any fee/fine shown.

Tips that save you a trip

Common reasons for rejection or delay
- Licence not yet renewed at the economic department.
Questions and answers
Is there a MOHRE fine for an expired licence?
The economic department fines late licence renewal; at MOHRE the main effect is a block on transactions. Staff check the file.
