Municipality & Chamber of Commerce Deregistration Services in Dubai
Secure Your Final NOCs for Legal Business Deregistration
Before you can officially close your company in Dubai, you must obtain final clearance from the Dubai Municipality and Chamber of Commerce. CapitalClosure coordinates both approvals, ensuring your trade license can be cancelled without delays or penalties.
“These final clearances confirm your business is fully compliant with city-level regulations including tenancy, safety, and registration obligations.”

Why These Clearances Are Mandatory
As part of the liquidation process, authorities require proof that your business:
- Has no pending dues to local municipalities (rents, violations, permits)
- Has officially de-registered from Dubai Chamber’s records
- Is no longer operating at its registered premises
- Has settled all obligations related to trade activity
- Has settled all obligations related to trade activity
Without these NOCs, DED and Free Zones will reject your license cancellation request.
