Documents required

  • Image of the amended trademark (JPEG)

    copy

  • Trademark registration certificate (or registration number)

    copy

  • Trade licence of the owner company or establishment

Conditions, time and validity

  • The trademark must be registered and valid.
  • The change must not alter the mark's identity; a fundamentally new logo needs a new registration.
  • 30-day objection period from publication in the bulletin.
Processing time
Ministry: 5 working days to accept or reject (an older service card said 40 working days), followed by the 30-day objection period after publication.
Validity of the result
The amended design is protected for the remaining term of the registration.
Where it is applied for
Online only: Ministry of Economy and Tourism website (eservices.moec.gov.ae, sign in with UAE PASS) or its smart app.

Steps at the authority

  1. Prepare the new design and check it is not a material change.
  2. File online and pay AED 350 + AED 750.
  3. Ministry checks, may ask for missing items, then accepts or rejects by email.
  4. Publication and 30-day objection period.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Show us old and new logos side by side; if the change is big, a new registration may be safer.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • The new logo changes the identity of the mark (material change).
  • An objection is filed during the 30 days and upheld.

Questions and answers

I only changed the colours of my logo; is this the right service?

Usually yes, if the shapes and words stay the same; staff will confirm.
