Verify any Dubai DED trade license for free: check the license status, expiry and business activities by license number or company name. Data from the DED trade license registry.
Every business operating in mainland Dubai must hold a trade license issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED, now part of Dubai Economy and Tourism). The license records the company’s legal name, current status, expiry date and the business activities it is allowed to perform.
A valid license confirms the company legally operates in Dubai and is authorised for the service you are hiring it for. The check takes under a minute and helps you avoid unlicensed operators — especially for work that affects safety, like electrical, AC or renovation jobs.
Enter the trade license number, or search by company name if you don’t know the number. You will see the license status, expiry date and licensed activities from the DED trade license registry.
Treat it as a red flag for any paid work. On Everlook, contractors verify their trade license before they can send offers — post your job for free and compare offers from verified pros instead.
