Clearance Certificate Coordination in Dubai
We Handle All Your NOCs — So You Don’t Have To
From utilities to immigration, your business needs up to 10+ clearance certificates before final liquidation. CapitalClosure coordinates every approval ; MOHRE, GDRFA, DEWA, Etisalat, DU, Municipality, and more, so you can close your company stress-free.
What Are Clearance Certificates in Company Liquidation?
In Dubai, before a company can officially liquidate and cancel its trade license, it must obtain No Objection Certificates (NOCs) or clearance letters from various government and utility departments. These certificates confirm that the business has no outstanding obligations — financial, legal, or operational.
Common clearance requirements include:
- Labor & Immigration (MOHRE & GDRFA)
- Utilities (DEWA, Etisalat, DU)
- Free Zone or DED
- Dubai Municipality
- Chamber of Commerce
- Custom departments (for trading firms)
- RERA (for real estate companies)
- DHA/KHDA (for clinics, schools)

Frequently Asked Questions?
Can I get these clearances on my own?
Yes, but expect long queues, multiple visits, and delays. We eliminate that completely.
What happens if I don’t clear DEWA or Etisalat?
They may block your Emirates ID or impose late payment fees. This can delay or prevent liquidation.
Do Free Zone companies also need these clearances?
Yes — most Free Zones require at least 3–5 NOCs including MOHRE, FTA, and utilities.
Are these clearances needed even for dormant or inactive companies?
Yes. Authorities will still require official closure documentation to finalize deregistration.
