What to do when manager details need changing
If the manager details on an approved Dubai mainland trade licence need correcting or replacing, prepare a request to update the licence record and confirm the correct amendment route with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Describe the change precisely: correcting an existing manager’s details is not the same request as replacing the manager. Check the issued licence after the update so you can confirm it reflects the intended details.
What to prepare before you contact DET
Have the relevant information ready so the request can be matched to the company record:
- A copy of the current trade licence.
- The manager’s current details and the exact details to be shown after the change.
- A clear description of whether you are correcting a detail or appointing a different manager.
- Any company records or authorization documents relevant to approving the change.
This is a preparation list, not a universal upload checklist. The documents and approvals to submit depend on the request and company record, so confirm the current requirements for your case before arranging signatures or submitting paperwork.
A practical way to handle the update
- Write down exactly what must change and whether the current manager remains in place.
- Check the company record and identify any company authorization documents relevant to the change.
- Confirm with DET which mainland licence amendment request and supporting documents apply to your case. DET handles applications and approvals for Dubai mainland business licensing.
- Review the updated licence and check the manager details against the intended record.
Why the exact document list matters
The right paperwork depends on what is being changed and the company’s existing records. A simple correction and a change of appointed manager may call for different supporting information. Avoid relying on a generic online checklist as a guarantee: confirm the documents and authorization needed for the particular licence before you submit.
