Both halves, one purchase

What you receive

A Company Record is two things delivered together — the verified report and the official documents behind it, for one price.

The KYB report

The company, verified from the source

Company particulars as filed, retrieved at the moment you buy from the official register, National Economic Register. This register does not publish controlling parties, shareholders or beneficial owners, so a record for United Arab Emirates cannot include them.

  • Registered company data & status
  • Directors, officers & controlling parties — not published by this register
  • Shareholders & beneficial owners — not published by this register
The registry filings

The official documents on file

Every record comes with the standard set of registry documents needed for AML and KYB compliance — the official filings, straight from the source register.

  • The standard AML & KYB compliance document set
  • Official copies, straight from the register
  • Further filings on the register — available on request

About the register

National Economic Register

The United Arab Emirates has no single incorporation registry. Companies are licensed by the authority for the place where they operate: the economic department of each emirate for mainland businesses, such as the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development or Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, or one of the free zone authorities for entities established in a free zone. Each licensing authority keeps its own record of the entities it licenses, so a company's registry data lives with the emirate or zone that issued its licence.

The National Economic Register (NER) sits above these records as a federal platform, operated by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, that integrates licensing data from federal and local authorities across the seven emirates, covering mainland and free zone licensing departments alike. Launched as a government accelerators initiative in 2017, it provides data on economic licences in the UAE: the licence a business holds, its licensed activities and its trade name. Official UAE government guidance points to both the emirate economic department portals and the NER for checking business activities and issued licences.

The United Arab Emirates Company Records report delivers a registry extract for the entity, sourced from the National Economic Register at the moment you buy.

Good to know

United Arab Emirates company records — questions

Are these official records?
Yes. Every record is sourced from the official register, National Economic Register, at the moment you buy. It is registry data only — nothing aggregated, resold, or editorialised.
What exactly is a "Company Record"?
Two things in one purchase: the KYB report (company data as filed — this register does not publish controlling parties, shareholders or beneficial owners) and the standard set of official registry documents needed for AML and KYB compliance.
Can I get additional filing documents?
Every record includes the standard document set for AML and KYB compliance. If you need a document beyond that set, contact us and we'll find out whether the register holds it.
Does the record include shareholders and beneficial owners?
The official register does not make shareholder or beneficial-owner data public, so a record cannot include what the register does not publish. The company particulars it does hold are included.
How current is the information?
It is retrieved from the register at the time of purchase, so it reflects the register's current state — not a cached copy.
Do I need a subscription or a contract?
No. Buy a single record with a card. There is no subscription and no minimum.
Does the UAE have a single company register?
No. Mainland companies are licensed by the economic department of the emirate where they operate, and free zone companies by their zone authority, each keeping its own records. The National Economic Register is the federal platform that integrates licensing data from these authorities across the seven emirates, and it is the source of the United Arab Emirates Company Records report.
What is the UAE National Economic Register?
It is a federal platform operated by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism that integrates government licensing data at local and national levels. It provides data on economic licences, licensed activities and trade names for businesses across mainland and free zone jurisdictions in the UAE.
What is the difference between mainland and free zone licensing?
A mainland business is licensed by the economic department of its emirate, for example the Department of Economy and Tourism in Dubai. A free zone entity is licensed by the authority of the zone in which it is established. Both kinds of licence data feed the National Economic Register, so entities from either regime can be looked up through the same federal platform.
How do I verify a UAE trade licence?
UAE government guidance lists two official routes: the portal of the economic department in the relevant emirate, or the National Economic Register, which covers licences issued across the emirates. The United Arab Emirates Company Records report provides a registry extract reflecting the register at the time of purchase.
