What is a Trade License?

A Trade License is an official government document that authorizes a business or company to legally operate in a specific jurisdiction. It includes key information such as:

In the UAE, any foreign-issued Trade License used for legal or commercial purposes must be attested by MOFA to be recognized.

• Company Name and Registration Number
• Business Activities
• Date of Incorporation
• Authorized Signatories or Shareholders
• Jurisdiction/Country of Registration

MOFA attestation confirms that the foreign Trade License is authentic and legally valid for use in the UAE. This is often required for:

• Opening a branch or representative office in the UAE
• Registering with UAE free zones or mainland authorities
• Submitting tenders and government contracts
• Opening corporate bank accounts
• Legalizing shareholder/company documents

Without MOFA attestation, UAE authorities and financial institutions may reject your Trade License.
