THAT FEELING WHEN YOU’RE OFFICIALLY LICENSED IN DUBAI AS A CONTENT CREATOR

Yes — in Dubai, you need a license to legally create content.

And honestly? It protects you, your income, and your brand.

If you’re serious about becoming a content creator in the UAE, here’s exactly how I got mine:

✅ STEP 1: Get Your Trade License (Content Creator)

Go in person to DED Café – Jumeirah 1

Tell them you’re applying for a Content Creator trade license.

Cost: Around AED 1,390

Bring: Your Emirates ID

You’ll receive your digital trade license via WhatsApp or email — including your official license number.

✅ STEP 2: Apply for Police Clearance

Download the Dubai Police app

Log in using UAE Pass

Cost: AED 220

This clearance is required before applying for your advertiser permit.

✅ STEP 3: Apply for Advertiser Permit

Once you receive your police clearance:

Apply through the UAE Media Council website.

You’ll receive SMS updates about your application status.

✅ STEP 4: Request Your Permit Copy

After approval, email:

media@uaemc.gov.ae

Include your media license application number.

Within a few days, they’ll send you your official advertiser permit copy.

 And That’s It.

Once licensed, you can:

✔ Create content legally

✔ Do paid or gifted collaborations

✔ Work with brands confidently

✔ Protect yourself from fines

If you’re building your personal brand in the UAE, do it properly.

Professional mindset = long-term success.
