Who can apply, and how
Umm Al Quwain's conditions are plain. The applicant must be at least 21, must not hold a licence that expired more than a month ago, and must meet the conditions of the activity. The licence is issued once the competent authorities have given their approvals and the fees are paid, and no profit-making activity may start before it.
The documents depend on the activity and on the legal form, so we confirm your list before anything is filed.
Mainland or UAQ FTZ
UAQ DED gives you a mainland licence for the UAE market. Umm Al Quwain also has a free zone, UAQ FTZ, whose packages, visas included, we price online. If you mainly sell to clients abroad or online, compare the two before you choose.
How we handle it
We reserve the trade name, apply for the initial approval, collect the approvals your activity needs, sort the premises and file for the licence. Then come the establishment card, the visas and your bank account application, with the same team.
UAQ DED questions, answered
How much does a UAQ mainland licence cost?
UAQ DED's fee depends on the activity, the legal form and the approvals it needs, plus your premises. We price the full setup on a call, and UAQ FTZ, the emirate's free zone, is priced online if you want a figure now.
Who can apply for a UAQ DED licence?
An applicant aged 21 or over who meets the activity's conditions, holds the approvals the competent authorities require, and has no licence that expired more than a month ago.
Should I choose UAQ DED or UAQ FTZ?
UAQ DED gives a mainland licence to trade across the UAE market. UAQ FTZ is a free zone company with a published price list. We compare the two with you on a call.
Can I start trading before the licence is issued?
No. Umm Al Quwain requires the licence before any profit-making activity starts, so we plan the approvals and the premises around your start date.

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.
