Keep the line running
What keeping a plant licensed includes
Renewal-window planning
We track your industrial licence expiry against the lead time your factory inspections need, so the renewal opens early enough that production never pauses on a paperwork gap.
Inspection-readiness review
Before submitting, we confirm your site still meets the safety and environmental conditions a renewal inspection checks, so a visit clears on the first pass instead of triggering a re-inspection.
Recurring permit re-validation
Civil Defense, environmental, and municipality certificates that lapse alongside the licence are renewed in step, because DET holds the trade-licence renewal until these annual permits are current.
Warehouse lease verification
Your factory or warehouse Ejari is validated and, where it has rolled over, the updated tenancy is filed so the registered-premises condition the renewal depends on is satisfied.
Fine and compliance clearance
Any pending fines or open compliance items are settled first, since the renewal cannot be processed while an unresolved penalty sits against the industrial file.
Renewed licence issuance
The BR/1 renewal application is lodged and the fees settled, and we deliver the reissued industrial trade licence that carries your operations into the next year.
The renewal run-through
From expiry alert to a reissued plant licence
Industrial renewal differs from a desk renewal because a live site may be inspected, so the steps front-load the physical and permit checks that decide approval.
01
Expiry and lead-time mapping
We fix the renewal start date against your expiry so any required factory inspection has room to be scheduled without forcing a production stoppage.
02
Lease and Ejari validation
The warehouse or factory tenancy is verified as current, the single most common blocker on a mainland industrial renewal.
03
Activity-compliance check
Your licensed industrial activities are reviewed against current rules to confirm nothing on the licence now needs an extra approval to continue.
04
External approval gathering
Civil Defense, environmental, and municipality clearances are renewed where the activity requires them, run alongside rather than after the main application.
05
Submission and fee payment
The renewal application is lodged with DET and government fees are settled once every supporting permit is in hand.
06
Issuance and next-cycle briefing
The renewed licence is collected and we note the permits that will fall due next year so the following renewal is never a scramble.
Your renewal documents
What a renewal file for a factory needs
Existing industrial licence
The current industrial trade licence is the base document against which every renewed detail is reconciled.
Valid warehouse or factory Ejari
A certified, in-date lease for your production premises evidences the registered site the mainland renewal requires.
Shareholder identity copies
Passport and Emirates ID copies for the shareholders keep the ownership record on the renewed licence accurate.
BR/1 renewal application
The mainland renewal form, completed and signed, is the formal request DET processes the renewal from.
Civil Defense certificate
Where the facility carries fire-safety obligations, a current Civil Defense certificate is attached so the safety condition is met.
Environmental and municipality permits
Activity-specific environmental or municipality approvals are renewed and filed where the production type calls for them.
Days, drivers & lapse risk
Turnaround, drivers, and the price of a lapse
How fast renewal completes
With every approval and document in order, an industrial renewal generally finalises within two to five business days; cases needing a site inspection or environmental clearance run longer.
- Lease and permit verification
- DET application and fees
- Optional inspection or clearance window
What moves the renewal fee
The figure reflects the scale of your operation, the size of the manufacturing premises, your jurisdiction, and the third-party approvals the activity carries.
- Production scale and complexity
- Facility or warehouse footprint
- Required third-party approvals
What a missed deadline costs
Letting an industrial licence lapse risks regulatory fines, a suspension of manufacturing activity, and in the worst case a facility-closure order that halts the plant entirely.
- Late-renewal penalties
- Suspension of industrial activity
- Visa-processing restrictions
Beyond the stamp
Where our industrial renewal support extends
Regulator liaison for inspections
We coordinate with the industrial and environmental bodies so any inspection is scheduled and cleared without leaving your line idle.
Workforce-quota continuity
We keep the renewal aligned with your labour allocation so a renewed licence continues to support the visas your production headcount relies on.
Multi-permit calendar
We hold a single view of every certificate that expires with the licence, so Civil Defense, environmental, and municipality permits renew together instead of one at a time.
Online and assisted filing
Where the renewal can run through the online channel we file it there once approvals are loaded, and step in for the items that still need authority handling.
