Professional Service License
If you are a professional service provider operating in the United Arab Emirates, you need a Professional Service License to carry out your activities legally. The Professional Service License is a permit issued by the government to individuals or companies providing specialized services such as legal, accounting, medical, or engineering services.
At Highgate Business Management Consultants, we understand the importance of obtaining a Professional Service License for your business. With our expertise and knowledge, we can assist you in acquiring the necessary permits and licenses to run your business smoothly and legally.
What is a Professional Service License?
The Professional Service License is a permit issued by the government to professionals who offer specialized services in the United Arab Emirates. This permit allows professionals such as architects, product design experts, interior designers, web designers, and many others to offer their services legally. If a group of professionals wants to offer their services jointly, they can form a civil corporation.
Advantages of Professional Service License
Companies holding a Professional Service License have a unique advantage over other companies operating in the mainland. They are allowed 100% foreign ownership, and they only require a Local Service Agent who will represent the company before government agencies. The Local Service Agent can be an Emirati or a company 100% owned by Emiratis, and they do not have any shares in the company or a say in the management of the company. This allows you to have full control over your business.

How to Get a Professional Service License in Dubai
The first step to obtaining a Professional Service License is to form a company. Our experienced business setup consultants can help you with the paperwork and advise you on the best location for your business. When registering your company, you need to specify the address of your premises and who your Local Service Agent will be.
Some of the documents required for the process include a copy of your passport, visa, Emirates ID (if already resident in the United Arab Emirates), educational and professional certifications, two passport-sized photographs, and a copy of Ejari or registered Tenancy Contract for your office. The cost of acquiring a Professional Service License varies by business activity and the number of business owners.
Renewal of Professional Service License
Your Professional Service License needs to be renewed every year. When renewing your license, it is important to ensure that your training credentials are still valid. If your profession involves time-bound credentials, we recommend getting re-certified to keep your training credentials valid.
You can apply for renewal of your Professional Service License one month before it is about to expire and extend its validity for another year. Applying for renewal after it has expired incurs a penalty fee.
