Conditions, time and validity
- Valid trade licence; the change must already be registered by the economic department and on the immigration establishment card.
- Licensee or service agent at least 21 per MOHRE's page (guardian or court approval for minors).
- New signatories must also be authorised by immigration (ICP).
- Processing time
- MOHRE: 2 working days.
- Validity of the result
- Updated establishment card; valid as long as the licence data stay the same.
- 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
- Amend the licence at the economic department and the establishment card at immigration.
- Submit the MOHRE update request with the documents.
- Pay the fees; MOHRE issues the updated card or notifies shortfalls.
Tips that save you a trip
- Do the three updates in order: licence, immigration card, then MOHRE.
- After a change of owner, check the signatories' authorisations (UAE PASS and the MOHRE app's Electronic Authorisation) and the PRO cards; they may need updating.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- The licence or immigration card has not yet been amended, so the data do not match.
- Old tenancy contract or missing partners' annex.
Questions and answers
Do I need this if only my phone number or email changed?
Usually not: contact details are changed with the separate 'modify contact details' transaction.
