How can I correct a mistaken Commercial Registration (CR) number in the enforcement request?

Dear User,

To correct a CR number, you must submit a formal request to the Enforcement Department to amend the records. You can write a memorandum or formal letter stating the case number and parties, the incorrect number for the commercial registration entered, and the correct number to adopt. Request that the records related to the implementation request be amended.

Then attach a copy of the official commercial registration certificate showing the correct number. And any judicial documents related to the execution request.

Submit the application directly to the Enforcement Department of the competent court. In some courts, sending may be permitted via email or electronic portal, depending on the system in place.

You can keep a receipt or proof of submitting the request and follow up with the enforcement officer responsible for your case to ensure that the correction is applied.

To correct an error in the commercial registration (CR) number in an execution request in the UAE, visit the Department of Economic Development in the emirate to which your business belongs to submit a request to correct or amend the commercial registration data through their electronic platforms such as TAMM - Abu Dhabi or directly through the website of the relevant department, such as the Department of Economic Development in Ajman.

Prepare the necessary documents, such as the identity of the owner or legal representative, a copy of the commercial register, a valid license, and pay the prescribed fees.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your message!

If a Commercial Registration (CR) number was entered incorrectly in your enforcement request, you will need to request a correction through the relevant authority. The procedure generally depends on the authority handling your enforcement request:

Federal Authorities (e.g., Ministry of Economy) – You can submit a data correction/modification request through their eServices portal, providing:

- The enforcement request with the incorrect CR number.

- Proof of the correct CR number (e.g., trade license copy).

- Any other supporting documentation.

Dubai Local Authorities or Free Zones – If the request is handled locally (e.g., Dubai Courts, Dubai Free Zone), you will need to contact their enforcement or registration department and submit a correction request with supporting documents.

Once the request is submitted, follow up to ensure the CR number is updated correctly.

If you wish, we can assist you in preparing and submitting the correction request to ensure it is processed smoothly.

Greetings,

Correction of a Commercial Registration (CR) number in an enforcement request usually requires submitting an amendment through the competent enforcement authority or court that issued/received the request. The exact procedure depends on the stage of the enforcement and the authority involved.

To ensure proper rectification without delays or rejection, we recommend seeking legal assistance. You may book a consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy or authorize our office to handle the correction on your behalf.

If the Commercial Registration (CR) number in your enforcement request was entered incorrectly, the correction can usually be made through a rectification request to the Enforcement Court (Execution Department) handling your matter.

The UAE courts allow for such clerical or administrative corrections so long as the supporting documents clearly establish the correct CR number.

Here’s the practical approach:

Prepare a written request/application to the Execution Judge/Execution Department requesting the amendment of the CR number.

Attach supporting documents such as:

- The correct commercial license showing the valid CR number,

- Copy of the enforcement order/decree, and

- The original enforcement application with the mistaken CR entry.

Submit this through the court’s online system (Dubai Courts e-services or the relevant emirate’s system) or directly at the Execution Department counter, depending on where the case is filed.

The Execution Judge/Registrar will issue an administrative order correcting the mistake in the enforcement file, ensuring that all further enforcement actions are taken under the correct CR number.

This is usually treated as a procedural correction and not as a substantive amendment, so it does not affect the merits of your enforcement.

Dear questioner,

Correcting a mistake like an incorrect Commercial Registration (CR) number in an enforcement request is a procedural matter handled by the judicial authority. The procedure depends on which Emirate the enforcement request was filed in, as each Emirate's judicial department has its own e-services and specific rules.

The only proper way to correct a mistake in an enforcement request is to file a formal petition with the Enforcement Judge at the relevant judicial department and provide all supporting documents.

We have encountered this type of issue often in enforcement proceedings. If the Commercial Registration (CR) number was entered incorrectly in your enforcement request, the correction cannot be made informally by the bank or the parties—it must go through the execution court handling the enforcement file.

In a recent case we managed, the court accepted a rectification request supported by the correct trade license copy, and the enforcement record was updated to reflect the proper CR number.

There are generally two steps:

The first is to file an e-request through the execution case portal (or the court’s e-system), asking for amendment of party details, attaching the valid trade license showing the correct CR.

The second, if the court clerk rejects the request, is to submit a formal petition (طلب تصحيح بيانات) before the execution judge. The hidden risk is continuing with the wrong CR number, which may cause objections from the debtor or delay enforcement if the mismatch is discovered later.

The most strategic step is to act quickly and submit the correction request directly to the execution department with documentary proof, so your enforcement continues without interruption.

Our office can prepare the application, submit it to the court, and follow up with the clerk to ensure the amendment is approved.

To guide you precisely, we would need to know which emirate’s court you filed in, and obtain a copy of the enforcement request and trade license. Our multilingual consultants are available in Arabic, English, Russian, Hindi, and Chinese to assist you.

Dear Client,

Thank you for your query!

To correct the Commercial Registration (CR) number mistakenly entered in an enforcement request, you will need to follow the proper correction procedure with the relevant enforcement authority or court handling your case.

The general steps are:

- Submit a formal written request to the enforcement authority explaining the error and providing the correct CR number.

- Attach supporting documents such as your valid trade license showing the correct CR number and any related correspondence.

- If the enforcement request was filed through a court or online portal, you may need to apply for an amendment or rectification through their system or by contacting the registrar.

- Some jurisdictions require the requester or their legal representative to appear personally or via power of attorney to process the correction.

- Follow up regularly until the correction is reflected in the enforcement records and notifications.

If you need, I can assist in drafting the correction request or liaising with the enforcement authorities to expedite the correction process.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
