    How do I use DED / Free Zone Authorities for free in United Arab Emirates?

    LemReveal's basic registry lookup is free. The official DED / Free Zone Authorities service at https://www.dubaided.gov.ae has its own access rules: distinguish basic search, officer information, filed documents, certified extracts and API access. Do not assume these are all free or available without an account.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open DED / Free Zone Authorities

      Go to https://www.dubaided.gov.ae and check the official search and access options.

    2. 2

      Check basic-search access

      Determine whether the required entity search is public, requires an account or carries a search fee. Do not confuse a free search-results list with a full company extract.

    3. 3

      Check the fields you need

      Find out whether officers, addresses and historical filings are included in the public result or require a separate document.

    4. 4

      Check document and API charges

      Review the official terms for extracts, certified copies, filings and data services. A free web lookup does not imply a free API or certification.

    United Arab Emirates: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Identify the licensing authority, emirate and whether the business is mainland or in a free zone. Use the corresponding official licence or register search rather than assuming one portal covers every UAE entity.
    Confirm the entity
    Record the licence or registration number together with its issuing authority. Compare the legal name and licensed activity; a brand and the licensed contracting entity may differ.

    Check current access and document options on the official DED / Free Zone Authorities site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the United Arab Emirates registry guide.
