There is no single company register in the United Arab Emirates. Companies are registered in one of the emirates, generally by the local Department for Economic Development. Where there are free zones, the company may be registered by the free zone authority. Companies will then generally be required to register with the Chamber of Commerce in that emirate. Generally the local Departments for Economic Development and / or the Chambers of Commerce will make some information about the company available either on a web page or in response to a request in writing.
The Dubai Department for Economic Development makes some information available on its web site. Additional information has been available on written application to the Dubai Chamber of Commerce.
News reaches this part of the empty quarter that the DCCI has recently decided to amend the information it makes available. The DCCI will no longer provide information about the shareholders and shareholdings in a company. This part of the empty quarter cant help but feel that this does not help those contemplating some form of relationship with or action against a company in Dubai. There is also news that a similar change in practice has taken place in Abu Dhabi.
