IdentifierTechnical keyDescription
Business Registration Number (United Arab Emirates)AE_BRNIn the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a business license is a legal requirement for conducting any form of business activity. The business license number is a unique identifier issued by the relevant governmental authorities to verify that a business is authorized to operate within the country. This license number is critical for various business operations such as opening bank accounts, signing contracts, and even participating in certain types of trade.

There are several types of business licenses available in UAE, primarily:

  • Commercial License: For trading activities.
  • Industrial License: For manufacturing activities.
  • Professional License: For professional services like consultancy, advisory, etc.
  • Tourism License: For businesses involved in tourism activities.
  • Agricultural License: For agricultural and farming activities.


The process of obtaining a business license involves several steps, including:

  • Registering the business name.
  • Submitting all required legal documents.
  • Paying the applicable fees.
  • Obtaining approvals from relevant authorities, which may include the Department of Economic Development (DED), free zone authorities, or other industry-specific bodies.
  • Finally, the license is issued with a unique business license number.


This business license number is usually displayed on the physical license itself, and it should also be publicly displayed in the business premises for verification and compliance purposes. It's essential to renew this license periodically as per the regulations to continue lawful operations.


Companies often need to submit their business license number when completing various forms of documentation and applications, such as VAT registration or when applying for various permits and allowances. Therefore, it's crucial for businesses to keep this number readily accessible and ensure that their license remains current to avoid legal consequences.


Note that the business environment and regulations may differ if you're operating within one of the UAE's free zones, where you'll deal with the specific free zone authority for your business license, rather than the Department of Economic Development (DED).
