Company Establishment Card in UAE – New and Renewal Guide

A Company Establishment Card (also known as an Immigration Card or Computer Card) is a mandatory registration document issued by the UAE immigration authorities. It allows a company to open an immigration file and legally apply for employment visas, partner visas, and family visas.

Whether you are starting a new company or renewing an existing card, having the Establishment Card is essential to operate smoothly in the UAE.

Amazon Attestation Services provides fast and reliable establishment card services for new companies and renewals across Dubai and all UAE emirates.

What Is a Company Establishment Card in the UAE?

The Establishment Card links your company with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) or ICP (Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship).

It enables your company to:

• Apply for employee visas

• Sponsor owners or partners

• Process family visas

• Access immigration systems legally

Without a valid Establishment Card, no visa-related activity is allowed

Who Needs an Establishment Card?

You need a Company Establishment Card if you are:

• A mainland company

• A free zone company

• A professional license holder

• A branch office

• A newly registered company

• Renewing or updating company immigration records

Both new businesses and existing companies must maintain a valid card.
