How Ajman DED issues a licence

Ajman DED publishes its own sequence, and we run each step for you:

  • Reserve the trade name
  • Approval from the federal identity authority for foreign owners
  • Approvals from other government entities for higher-risk activities
  • A lease contract attested by Ajman's Municipality and Planning Department
  • Payment of the fees
  • The memorandum of association, for a company
  • The licence, with Ajman Chamber membership and the commercial signboard permit

What the fees are made of

Ajman DED's fee lines: AED 600 for the licence, AED 50 for the application, AED 350 for the signboard permit, AED 200 each for the commercial register and the economic activities register, a AED 1,500 contribution to the UAE CSR Fund and, for a limited liability company, AED 3,000 for its publication with the Ministry of Economy. Chamber fees, contract notarisation and your lease come on top.

So there is no single figure until we know your activity, legal form and premises. Give us those on a call and we price the whole setup, visas included. Once the file is complete, Ajman DED's own service time for issuing the licence is about ten minutes.

Ownership

Federal law allows full foreign ownership of a mainland company for most activities. Ajman DED's own conditions still call for a UAE national as local service agent or partner for some non-GCC owners, so we confirm the route for your activity before you apply.

Ajman DED questions, answered

How much does an Ajman mainland licence cost?

Ajman DED's own fee lines start at AED 600 for the licence, and the total adds the registers, the signboard permit, the CSR Fund contribution, Chamber fees and your lease, plus federal fees for an LLC. We price your full setup on a short call.

Do I need an office for an Ajman mainland licence?

Yes. Ajman DED issues the licence once your lease contract is attested by the Municipality and Planning Department, so the premises come first. We help you choose space that fits the licence and your visas.

How fast is an Ajman DED licence?

Once the trade name, approvals and attested lease are in place, Ajman DED's service time for issuing the licence is about ten minutes. Higher-risk activities need approvals from other authorities first, and we tell you which apply.

OMC is a reliable and professional company in the UAE. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to help. The quality of their service exceeded my expectations, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended.
