Dubai Municipality Product Registration Services

What is Dubai Municipality Product Registration?

Dubai Municipality product registration is a mandatory regulatory requirement for any business seeking to manufacture, import, or sell consumer products within the UAE. This registration process ensures that all products meet Dubai’s strict safety, quality, and compliance standards before reaching the market.

Obtaining an official registration certificate from Dubai Municipality demonstrates that your products have been thoroughly evaluated and approved for sale. This certificate, valid for five years, provides legal authorization to distribute your products across the UAE and builds consumer confidence in your brand.

Which Products Require Registration?

Dubai Municipality maintains specific registration requirements for different product categories. Understanding which category your product falls into is crucial for determining the correct registration pathway and documentation requirements.

Product categories requiring Dubai Municipality registration include:

Cosmetic Products – All personal care items including makeup, skincare products, hair care solutions, and beauty treatments intended for application to the human body must comply with cosmetic safety standards.

Food & Beverages – This encompasses packaged foods, raw food materials, food supplements, beverages, and nutritional products. Food products undergo the most rigorous compliance verification process.

Health Supplements – Dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, and other health-related consumable products require specialized registration with emphasis on ingredient safety and efficacy claims.

Detergent & Disinfectant Products – Household and industrial cleaning agents, disinfectants, and similar products must meet chemical safety and environmental standards.

Pet Food – Specialized pet nutrition products including dog food, cat food, bird feed, and other animal food products.

Pharmaceuticals – Prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and medical preparations require the most stringent compliance reviews.

Electronics & Electrical Appliances – Consumer electronic devices must meet safety and performance standards before market authorization.

Dubai Municipality Product Registration Process

The product registration process follows a structured timeline designed to ensure thorough compliance verification while maintaining efficiency. Understanding each step helps you prepare appropriate documentation and set realistic expectations for approval timelines.

Step 1: Establish Your Business Foundation

Before initiating product registration, your company must have a valid trade license issued by Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. This license confirms your legal right to operate a business in Dubai and engage in your specified business activity. Your trade license must explicitly authorize product trading or general trading activities. Registration cannot proceed without this foundational business documentation.

Step 2: Create Your Dubai Municipality Portal Account

Access the official Dubai Municipality online platform (Montaji Portal for cosmetics and health supplements, or FIRS/ZAD Portal for food products) and establish a registered business account. This digital account provides access to all registration services and allows you to track your application progress in real-time. You’ll need your trade license information and business details to complete account setup.

Step 3: Prepare Complete Documentation

Gather all required documentation according to your specific product category. Documentation requirements typically include your trade license copy, detailed product information sheets, high-resolution product labels, certificates of analysis, certificates of origin, and origin country compliance documentation. Each document must meet specific formatting requirements set by Dubai Municipality.

Step 4: Submit Your Application

Using the Dubai Municipality portal, complete the product registration application form with comprehensive product information. Upload all supporting documents according to specified file formats and size limitations. Review your entire submission for accuracy and completeness before final submission to avoid processing delays.

Step 5: Pay Registration Fees

Dubai Municipality charges applicable registration fees through secure online payment systems. The initial registration fee is 10 AED, with an additional 220 AED certificate issuance fee upon approval. Multiple product variations (different sizes, packaging, or formulations) require separate applications and fees.

Step 6: Authority Review & Verification

Dubai Municipality conducts a comprehensive review of your application, examining product labels, ingredient lists, safety documentation, and compliance certification. This evaluation typically takes between 7-22 working days depending on product category. Food products typically receive faster approval (7 days), while cosmetics and detergents require approximately 22 working days.

Step 7: Receive Your Registration Certificate

Upon successful approval, you receive an electronic registration certificate valid for five years. This certificate authorizes legal sale of your product throughout the UAE. Before certificate expiration, you must renew your registration to maintain sales authorization.

Documentation Requirements for Dubai Municipality Registration

Comprehensive and accurate documentation is fundamental to registration success. Missing or incorrect documents represent the primary cause of application delays and rejections.

Essential documents include:

Valid Trade License – Original or certified copy of your current, active trade license issued in Dubai.

Completed Application Form – Fully completed Consumer Products Registration Service Application (CPRE) with accurate product details.

Product Information Documentation – Detailed product composition, ingredient lists, manufacturing specifications, and intended use descriptions.

Product Labels – High-resolution, clear images of your product label as it appears on packaging, meeting Dubai Municipality technical specifications.

Certificate of Analysis – Laboratory testing documentation confirming product safety, quality, and ingredient specifications.

Certificate of Origin – Documentation from your country of manufacture confirming product origin and compliance with home country standards.

Certificate of Conformity – Third-party verification that your product meets international safety and quality standards.

Business Ownership Documentation – Shareholder information, company registration documents, and ownership verification for mainland and free zone companies.

Category-Specific Documentation – Additional requirements depending on product type (food safety certifications, cosmetic ingredient reports, pharmaceutical approvals, etc.).

Registration Timeline & Costs

Planning your product launch timeline requires understanding Dubai Municipality’s processing schedules and associated costs.

Processing timelines by product category:

Food products typically receive approval within 7 working days, representing the fastest category. Health supplements require approximately 12 working days for complete processing. Cosmetics and detergent products require 22 working days due to more extensive compliance verification. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices may require extended processing periods and additional authority consultations.

Cost breakdown for Dubai Municipality registration:

Initial registration application fee: 10 AED. Certificate issuance fee: 220 AED. Additional fees may apply for expedited processing or special product categories. Each product variation requires separate registration and associated fees.
