DMCC announced that in partnership with Department of Economic Development (DED), effective 14 April 2020, they are introducing 2 new services that will help grow the UAE business.
DED NOC to Operate Onshore
DMCC member companies with specific license activities are now allowed to offer their services outside Free Zone without having to obtain a trade license from DED.
DMCC member companies can apply online for a no-objection-certificate (NOC) from DMCC to obtain the permit from DED. This NOC will be required to obtain the Commercial Permit to operate onshore, from DED.
The NOC will be valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, and no documents are required to be submitted.
To find out more about the eligibility criteria and further details, refer to the DED NOC to Operate Onshore Guidelines.
Dual License Office Permit
DMCC member companies with a DED branch/subsidiary or a DED company with a common shareholder can now operate from their JLT office.
Valid for one year, this permit will help business owners to save the cost of leasing another office for the DED license.
To find out more about eligibility criteria and further details, refer to the Dual Licence Office Permit Guidelines.

Good morning Wasem,
Thank you for your inquiry. As of our knowledge, moving a DED license into the DMCC is not practiced at the moment…
Please send us an email at hello@bizzmosis.com describing the reason for moving licenses & current business activities (as in the license) – based on that information, we will check what can be done.
Kind regards
