Overview

Technical services licence in Dubai explained

A technical services license in Dubai covers maintenance, repair, installation, and engineering support activities — registered under DET professional or commercial activity codes depending on whether services are provided on-site at client premises or from a workshop facility.

Technical service providers serving Dubai buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects may require Dubai Municipality approval for certain categories. Engineering consultancies may need additional accreditation depending on activity scope and contract requirements.

KPM Global Services matches your service portfolio — HVAC maintenance, electrical repair, IT hardware support, or industrial equipment servicing — to the correct licence activity and jurisdiction for mainland client access or free zone operational efficiency.
