Dubai gets a comprehensive digital business registry: The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) launched the Dubai Unified Licence (DUL), a consolidated digital registry encompassing all businesses within the emirate, according to a Government of Dubai’s media office statement. The DU includes businesses that operate on the mainland and in freezones and was created in collaboration with Dubai FreeZones Council.

The Dubai Unified Licence simplifies business setup and operations in Dubai. The integrated digital platform enhances transparency and accessibility to business information, in line with the emirate’s aim to be among top three cities globally for business and investment.

Progress at pace: To date, DET has granted more than 50k licenses, and there are further plans to issue additional licenses in the upcoming period. Businesses can present their DUL QR Code on DET websites and social media accounts, instead of presenting the traditional trade license certificates.

What they said: “Implementing the DUL simplifies and streamlines consent-driven data interchange and transactions between companies, service providers and government establishments,” Ahmad AlFalasi, CEO of Dubai Business Licence Corporation (DBLC) said.
