Each Free Zone operates by their own rules and regulations, and accepts tenants that are directly registered with them. In case you wish to switch from one free zone to another, the company will have to terminate the whole process, and will have to restart again with another free zone. Therefore, it would be good to have a clear idea of the business its expansion plans that you intend to do, and as to when it may outgrow the virtual set up. In case, your business activity has been registered as a service based business, you can work with any other company in the UAE (free zone or mainland). As per the law, if you own an E-Office Trading License, you may have to appoint a service agent, wherein 51% of that company will have to be owned by an Emirati. Thereafter you can event import/export goods within the UAE mainland. Usually the free zone would require at least half a page description/ CV/ Co. Profile on the proposed business to check it complies with their respective regulations. While some only offer virtual office set ups for service companies, other offer E-Office Trading Solutions too.

Dubai PRO Services - To obtain a marriage license (for expatriates)


UAE is a Muslim nation, and, if you are a non-Muslim, you may have to plan your marriage in a church, or at your respective embassy. You may have to bring along certain papers such as complete birth certificates, your ten year passports and photocopies, passports and photocopies of witnesses, UAE Medical Fitness Certificate and blood test undertaken at Health Ministry, the final divorce papers and former marriage certificates (in case of divorcees), or death certificate of your previous spouse (in case of a widow/widower).

If you are married in English, you will be given a marriage certificate in English. However, this requires translation into Arabic, by an official translator, to gain validity in the UAE. On receiving both English and Arabic versions of your marriage certificate, you will have to take it for certification by Notary Public at the Dubai Courts.

This certification needs further authentication by Ministry of Justice (MoJ). This MoJ authentication will have to be further authenticated by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA). Then, you need to visit your embassy, to obtain the MoFA authentication authenticated for using it in your own country.

Further, if both of you are of different nationalities, you will need to go to both embassies.

Islamic Marriages (in case of non-UAE nationals)
In cases where marriages are being conducted as per Islamic law, a valid UAE residence visa is a must for both bride and groom (in case of non-UAE nationals).

The bride's father or guardian or his attorney, will have to accompany the couple to the Marriage Section of Dubai Court, along with the following documents, as applicable:
  • Two male Muslim witnesses.
  • Passports and copies and identification papers for the guardian and witnesses.
  • Proof of divorce or death certificate of former spouse, if applicable.

In cases where the bride is a Muslim, while her father is non-Muslim, the bride will have to produce a no-objection letter from her embassy in Arabic, attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On paying the requisite fee, along with producing the said documents, a UAE marriage license will be granted. However, to authenticate it for validity in your home country, you will have to take it to the Ministry of Justice, and then to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then to your respective embassy or consulate for authentication.
Islamic Marriages (in case of UAE nationals)
The Shariaáh Law demands that the wedding should be performed in the Marriage Section of Islamic Courts. Both bride and groom should be UAE nationals or should hold a valid UAE residence visa.
Sharia'ah Law emphasizes that the groom should be a Muslim, though bride can be of any religion. In case of any dowry agreements, it should be specified and paid directly to the bride beforehand. Else, a written declaration, confirming about no dowry requirement should be produced. All emirates in the UAE, mandates that the bride’s father be present at the time of wedding, including two additional male Muslim witnesses.

The following documents need to be produced for receiving the UAE Marriage License.

  • Original passport plus photocopies of the couples, apart from identification papers for the bride's father or guardian and witnesses.
  • In cases where the bride’s father is deceased, a Shariaáh Declaration of his death and consent of the bride’s brother or an uncle from the father’s side is required. In cases where there are no male relatives to offer consent, a documentation proving this will have to be produced. In cases where bride’s father cannot be present at the time of ceremony, a letter of consent is required, along with certified copy of his passport, for signature verification.
  • In cases where the bride is a Muslim, and her father or guardian is a non-Muslim, a no objection certificate from the bride’s embassy or consulate is required.
  • In cases where the bride is divorced or widowed, proof is required.

On completion of the ceremony, a UAE Marriage License is granted. This document will have to be taken to the Ministry of Justice for authentication.

Christian Weddings in Dubai

This varies depending on nationality. However, the general procedure of Christian weddings in Dubai is as follows:

Visit your respective embassy to know about the procedure. You will have to carry passports and sign affidavits to say you are not already married and that there is no hindrance in getting married or something similar. You may also need to bring along witnesses. Check if it is possible to get married at your embassy, else, you will have to go to a church.

If you belong to different nationalities, you will need to contact your respective embassies to find out what the correct procedure is. For instance, US citizens may require a pastor to get married (can be organized by contacting one of the churches), while Indian citizens apparently get married at their embassy in Abu Dhabi.

If the marriage takes place in an English speaking church, the marriage certificate will be in English. This will have to be translated into Arabic by a court approved translator, for the marriage to be valid in the UAE.

Thereafter, you will have to submit both documents to the Notary Public Office at Dubai Courts for certification. This may require UAE Residence Visas to be able to do this.

Then visit the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to get the certification authenticated. The next step would be to visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) to get the MoJ authentication authenticated. Then you need to get back to your embassy to get the MoFA authentication authenticated.

It is said that more details about the procedures are being explained by priests at St. Mary’s Church in Bur Dubai, during their talk from 8am to 12pm and 4pm to 6pm, except on Fridays and Sundays.

Mixed Religion Weddings in Dubai

In cases where the bridegroom is a Muslim and bride is a non-Muslim, contact the Marriage Section of the Dubai Court. Check for the procedure of Islamic marriages.

But, in cases wherein bride is Muslim and bridegroom is non-Muslim, marriage can be performed in Dubai, provided, the bridegroom converts into a Muslim.

For religions other than Islam or Christianity, contact respective embassies to find out about the best procedure. Christian churches permit only marriages where both bride and bridegroom are Christians.

 

Dubai PRO Services - Dubai Marriage Law

Dubai Marriage Law Beneath the Sharia Law appropriate in the UAE, marriage is the only legal bond for a man and woman to establish a relationship and have children. Due to the economic boom in UAE, and mainly Dubai, several professionals from across the world have begun to settle down in Dubai, and raise a family, given, all top class facilities, including education and entertainment options that it offers. Islam, marriage is a legal contract between a man and woman, aimed at safeguarding the rights of the couple and their children. The marriage contract needs to be registered in a Sharia court in the UAE, which ensures that the marriage meets legal requirements. Expatriates do get married to Emiratis, and it is allowed in Dubai. However, the rules and procedures vary depending on nationality and/or religion. Usually, a man and woman belonging to the same religion are allowed to marry without difficulty. However, people belonging to different religions may face some problems organizing a wedding. For instance, when a Muslim man and Christian woman wish to get married, a Christian man will have to convert into Islam before marrying a Muslim woman. For non-Muslims, marriage laws that are applicable in their home countries will be applicable. The spouses are required to possess a valid Dubai residence visa. In case one of the spouses is on a visit visa, he/she should undergo a medical examination in Dubai prior to marriage.

Dubai PRO Services - Sponsoring a house maid/Nanny or Servant in Dubai

The alternative of sponsoring a maid or nanny is open to families living in Dubai, but, bachelors are not entitled to sponsor a maid. Dubai follows certain criteria for sponsorship of a house maid, although this may vary somewhat from one emirate to other in the UAE. You can visit the UAE immigration department for the latest practice. For most recent regulations in Dubai, visit Dubai Naturalization and Residence Department (DNRD), as the rules are subject to alter. When sponsoring a full-time maid in Dubai, you will also have to put up with the airfare to their home country once in two years or yearly. Majority of the maids are from Sri Lanka, India and Philippines. They typically live in. Majority of the family accommodation has 'servants' lodgings. Maids are also available without having to be sponsored by you. Such maids are usually wedded women, sponsored by their husbands. These maids work part-time, and do not live-in. They are compensated on an hourly basis, although, hardly ever, such couples live in servants’ quarters, in return for the part time work for one of them, while the other works full time.
