Our Trade License Renewal Service Covers
PRO Deskk renews trade licenses across every jurisdiction where your business might be registered:
- Mainland: Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi, through the Department of Economy and Tourism or the relevant emirate’s economic department.
- Free zones in Dubai: IFZA, MEYDAN, DSO, DMCC, Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Studio City, Dubai CommerCity, DIFC, and DWC.
- Free zones in Sharjah: SHAMS, SPC, and SRTIP.
- Free zones in Abu Dhabi: ADGM and TwoFour54.

Each authority runs its own portal and document rules, so our team handles the specific process for wherever your license is registered rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Documents Needed for Trade License Renewal
If your business activities have changed since your last renewal, the license needs to be amended first. Submitting a renewal with outdated activity details is one of the most common reasons applications get rejected, so we check this before filing.
A copy of your current trade license
A valid, Ejari-attested tenancy contract (mandatory for mainland companies; free zone flexi-desk holders are usually exempt)
Passport copies for all partners named on the license, with valid expiry dates
A completed renewal application form
External approvals from regulated authorities, where your activity requires them (healthcare, education, food services, and similar sectors)
Proof of settled government fees, fines, or dues from the previous license period

Trade License Renewal Cost in Dubai
Pricing depends on your business activity, jurisdiction, and tenancy value, so there’s no single flat fee. Here’s a general guide to what renewal typically costs by business type:
| Business Type | Jurisdiction | Estimated Renewal Fee Range (AED) |
| Professional Services Firm | Dubai Mainland (with office) | 12,000 – 25,000 |
| General Trading LLC | Dubai Mainland (with warehouse) | 18,000 – 35,000+ |
| E-commerce / Tech Startup | Free Zone (e.g., DMCC, DAFZ) | 10,000 – 20,000 |
| Freelance Permit | Free Zone (e.g., GoFreelance) | 7,500 – 15,000 |
These figures are estimates, and the biggest variable for mainland companies is usually the market fee tied to your rental value. PRO Deskk gives you an itemized quote upfront based on your actual license type and jurisdiction, and our in-house typing is included at government cost with no markup.
What Happens If You Delay
An expired trade license brings fines starting around AED 200 to AED 250 per month, plus risks including a frozen corporate bank account, halted employee visa processing, and blacklisting in serious cases. It also stalls anything tied to your license, including Golden Visa applications on investment or salary, family visa sponsorship, and corporate tax filings that reference your active license status. Starting your renewal with PRO Deskk at least 30 days before expiry gives our team time to resolve document issues before they become penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trade license renewal take with PRO Deskk?
A free zone renewal is usually completed in a few days. Mainland renewals take one to two weeks, longer with external approvals.
What happens if I miss my renewal deadline?
Fines start at AED 200 to AED 250 per month. Your bank account can be frozen, visa processing stops, and continued delay can lead to blacklisting.
Do I need an Ejari certificate to renew a mainland trade license?
Yes. A valid, Ejari-attested tenancy contract is mandatory for mainland renewal, and PRO Deskk verifies it before submission.
Is trade license renewal required every year?
Yes, for every business in the UAE, mainland or free zone.
How much does license renewal cost?
It depends on your business type and jurisdiction, ranging from around AED 7,500 for a free zone freelance permit up to AED 35,000 or more for a mainland general trading license with a warehouse. PRO Deskk provides a transparent, itemized quote before any work begins.
Do I need to visit a typing centre like Amer or Tasheel?
No. PRO Deskk has its own in-house typing desk, so your application is typed and proofread by our team directly, at the same cost as the government typing fee.
How do I know my documents were actually submitted?
We send WhatsApp updates at each stage and give you access to a Google Drive folder with copies of everything filed.
Why use PRO Deskk instead of renewing myself?
One team handles document collection, typing, submission, and follow-up, backed by direct experience with UAE government portals and free zone authorities.
What's the difference between renewing a mainland license and a free zone license?
Mainland trade license renewal goes through the DET eServices portal and requires an Ejari-attested tenancy contract. Free zone renewals go through the authority’s own portal, and many flexi-desk holders skip the Ejari requirement entirely, though the exact checklist varies by free zone.
