Can I transfer an expired Dubai mainland license to another person?

Dear questioner,

It depends on the purpose of the license transfer. If it is for business purposes, it is no longer valid, meaning it cannot be used for any legal purpose, including transfer.

Hi,

Pursuant to your query, it would be advisable to go to the licensing authority to check with them, as there are some procedures you should know in order to do it.

In Dubai, the transfer of a mainland business license is possible but comes with specific conditions.

If the license has expired, you typically cannot transfer it directly without first renewing it.

If the license is not renewed for 3 years or more, it may be placed under “administrative cancellation”, which means it cannot be renewed or transferred without a full legal liquidation.

According to UAE law, you cannot transfer an expired Dubai mainland license to someone else unless the license is renewed first.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Transferring an expired Dubai mainland trade license is possible but requires additional steps.

First, the license must be renewed, incurring a potential AED 250 penalty for late renewal. The transfer process involves obtaining approval from the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED), drafting a Sale and Purchase Agreement, securing No Objection Certificates, and paying transfer fees.

Both parties typically need to be present, or a Power of Attorney may be required. Due to the expired status, additional documents like clearance certificates and payment of outstanding fines may be necessary.

The process can take several days to weeks. Consult with us to ensure a smooth transfer.
