Current online readers: 22 Registered companies in Dubai, the nuclear name is the "first hurdle" to determine the efficiency of the follow-up process ". As the core identity of the enterprise, the company name not only needs to meet the legal norms of the UAE, but also needs to adapt to the differentiated regulatory requirements of the free zone and the local area.
in accordance with the UAE Business Companies Act and the respective Free Zone regulations, the company name must meet the following core requirements:
1. Uniqueness: The name shall not be repeated or highly similar to the registered company, and shall be checked through the official system.
2. Compliance: It is forbidden to use religious and politically sensitive words (such as "Emirates", "Bank", "Insurance", etc.) and must conform to Arab cultural habits.
3. Suffix specification: Free zone companies need to clearly mark suffixes (such as "FZCO" of DIFC and "FZE" of DMCC), while local companies (Mainland) do not need suffixes.
Language requirements: The name must be submitted in English or Arabic. It is recommended to prepare two language versions at the same time to improve the pass rate.
1. Official online system inquiry
dubai Economy and Tourism Bureau (DET) System: It is applicable to the registration of local companies (Mainland). Log in to DET official website to enter the "Business Name Reservation" section, enter 3-5 alternative names, and the system will feedback the results of the weight check in real time.
Free zone administration system: different free zones (such as DIFC, DMCC, JAFZA) have independent re-checking entrance. For example, DIFC registration requires a name application to be submitted through its official portal.
National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (UAE version): Information on registered enterprises nationwide can be queried, but it should be noted that some of the names being applied for may not be updated in time.
2, the agency to assist the check weight
professional agencies (e. g., Zhuoxin) are usually directly connected to government systems to quickly complete re-examination and anticipate audit risks. For example, through its nuclear name tool, Zhuoxin can quickly feedback results and provide name optimization suggestions based on historical data.
3. Offline window query
go to the office window of Dubai Ministry of Economy or Free Zone Administration and submit the Application for Pre-approval of Enterprise Name. The staff will check the weight through the internal system and inform the results on the spot. This approach is suitable for businesses that have doubts about name compliance, but it is time-consuming and costly.
1. Prepare 3-5 alternative names in advance
combination strategy: Combine core words with industry keywords (such as "Tech", "Global" and "Capital"), or use Latin variants (such as "Nova" instead of "New").
Cultural adaptation: Avoid words with negative connotations in Arabic, such as "Khatib" (meaning "loser") or "Haram" (taboo).
Case Reference: When a Chinese science and technology enterprise registered with DIFC, its initial name "AI Link FZCO" was rejected because it was similar to the registered company, and it was adjusted to "NexAI FZCO" and passed smoothly.
2. Avoid sensitive vocabulary and industry restrictions
financial terms: If you do not have a financial license, the name must not appear "Bank", "Insurance", "Brokerage", etc.
Geographical indications: The use of terms such as "Dubai" and "UAE" is prohibited unless specifically approved by the Government (e. g. "Dubai Holding").
Religious content: Avoid references to religious terms such as "Islam" and "Quran" in line with the UAE's secularization policy.
3. Optimize name structure and length
simplicity: Name length is recommended to be controlled within 3-4 words.
Readability: Avoid using hyphens or special symbols.
Pronunciation friendly: Make sure the name is readable in both Arabic and English, e.g. "Zenith" is more acceptable than "Xanadu.
4, with the help of agency pre-examination
professional agencies may prequalify names based on the following dimensions:
historical data matching: Analyze past nuclear name records and identify reasons for high-frequency rejections.
Language Localization: Provide Arabic translation suggestions to avoid ambiguity caused by literal translation.
Industry compliance: Provide customized name schemes for specific free zones.
5. Follow up the audit progress in real time
communication mechanism: regularly check the audit status through agencies or official channels, and timely supplement materials (such as the description of the meaning of the name).
Contingency plan: If the initial name is rejected, an alternative plan must be submitted within 24 hours to avoid delaying the registration cycle.
