What documents do I need for a UAE mainland LLC?

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

A passport copy and a recent proof of address for each shareholder, manager and beneficial owner, and a short description of the activities you want licensed. A corporate shareholder also provides its registry documents, a board resolution and the name of the person who will act for it, legalised for use in the UAE. Some activities need extra approvals, and we tell you at the start if yours does.
