UAE trade names must: (1) not reference Allah/Islamic terms, (2) not be offensive or politically sensitive, (3) not duplicate an existing name, (4) not mislead about the activity, (5) include the legal form (LLC, FZCO, IBC), and (6) have an Arabic translation for mainland entities. Free zones have their own additional rules.
24 hours is standard when names are pre-screened properly. DED mainland reservations can take up to 72 hours. Free zone reservations (DMCC, IFZA, SHAMS, Meydan) are typically same-day to 24 hours.
DED initial approval is valid for 6 months. Free zone reservations typically hold for 30 to 90 days. Offshore (RAK ICC, JAFZA Offshore) reservations last 30 days. You must complete formation within the hold period.
For mainland DED entities: no — Arabic translation is mandatory. For most free zones: English is sufficient but Arabic is recommended. For offshore: English-only is fine.
We run pre-screening before filing — so you never submit a taken name. If by chance it happens, we immediately pivot to your next preferred name. No additional fees for re-filing.
A reserved name gives you licence rights but not trademark rights. For full brand protection, you also need a UAE Ministry of Economy trademark registration (separate process). We recommend both for any consumer-facing brand.
Yes. Many founders reserve their preferred name while they finalise jurisdiction (mainland vs free zone vs offshore) and shareholder structure. We hold the name for 30–90 days while you decide.
Rejections typically involve: religious references, government-adjacent terms (federal, national, royal), generic industry terms ('gulf', 'emirates'), offensive words, names too similar to existing entities, or activity mismatches (e.g. 'Consulting' in the name for a trading licence).
Yes, but it's costly and disruptive — fees, re-translation, licence reissue, bank re-KYC, contract updates. Better to get it right the first time. We always advise clients to think long-term at the reservation stage.
