Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

A passport copy and a recent proof of address for each shareholder, director, manager and beneficial owner, plus a short business description for the activities you choose. Some activities need extra documents, such as a business plan or proof of experience. A corporate shareholder also provides its registry documents and a board resolution, legalised for use in the UAE.
