5-step RAKEZ renewal process

1

Start 60 days before expiry

Log into the RAKEZ Portal 360 or Mobile App, or ask your agent to confirm the expiry date and current renewal fee. Starting early avoids late fines and service blocks.

2

Run the compliance checklist

Confirm your tenancy or flexi-desk, establishment card, Emirates ID and visas are valid. Clear any outstanding fines and ensure UBO, ESR and corporate tax filings are up to date where applicable.

3

Submit the renewal request

Complete the online renewal form in the RAKEZ Portal 360 or authorise your agent to file on your behalf. Select one-year or multi-year renewal at this stage.

4

Pay the renewal fees

Pay by card, instalments, Tabby, direct debit, e-wallet, Al Ansari Exchange, bank transfer or payment link. Keep the receipt for your records.

5

Download your e-licence

Once payment is confirmed, your renewed e-licence is issued instantly in most cases. Print or store a copy and set a reminder for next year.

What happens if you renew late

Penalties

Third-party sources report late fines of approximately AED 50 per day. The exact amount can vary by package and overdue period, so treat this as a rough guide and renew as early as possible.

Service blocks

An expired licence can block bank transactions, visa renewals, contract signing and government services. Renew immediately to restore normal operations.
