Company Stamp Requirements in UAE — What Every Business Needs to Know

Company stamps (also called company seals or official stamps) are widely used across the UAE for official business documentation, contracts, invoices, and government submissions. While the UAE does not mandate a company stamp for all businesses under federal law, most banks, government entities, and corporate clients expect one as standard practice.

What information should appear on a UAE company stamp?

A standard UAE company stamp typically includes: the company's full legal name in English and/or Arabic, the emirate of registration, the trade licence number, and optionally the company logo. Some industries and free zones have specific requirements — check with your licensing authority if you operate in a regulated sector.

When is a company stamp required in UAE?

Bank account opening and signatory authorisation documents almost universally require a company stamp. Government tender submissions, visa applications for employees, customs documentation, and formal contracts with larger UAE companies all commonly require a stamped document. Many businesses keep both an English and Arabic version of their company stamp.

Exit stamps and document stamps. Beyond company stamps, UAE businesses frequently need date stamps for filing systems, address stamps, and stamps for specific document types. These are all standard catalogue items at any UAE stamp maker.
