  • How to Get a Delivery Service License in Dubai?
  • Wed 31 Aug 2022 | By : admin
The delivery service business model has entirely changed in the past years after the pandemic. We rely more on online shopping and delivery. The luxury of everything delivered to your doorstep from daily essentials to luxuries appeals to the possible as it saves time. The food industry business has touched the sky as delivery in 10 minutes has ignited the users to order more.  The user retainment of online food delivery services in the UAE is continuously rising and chances are it may jump high in 2025. The online food delivery segment may reach 5.5 million users by 2026. The delivery business service will encounter a huge boost with the increasing demand. The Department of Economic Development has renamed the name delivery services to Home Delivery Services as it requires a professional license. If you wish to obtain a delivery service license in Dubai we are here to help you with the process and license cost in Dubai.

Requirements for starting Delivery Services

There are a few benefits of delivery services such as  01. Delivery Platforms Delivery services bridge the gap between the provider and the customer. You should be at the platform where customers can easily meet the provider. 02. Trained Drivers A trained fleet of drivers is required to run the delivery service company and also ensure the drivers can do it safely. The fully trained drivers ensure the intact and safe delivery of packages. 03. Live order Tracking System The live order tracking system enables the user to track their orders at any point from start to end and they are also informed about the orders. 04. Fleet Equipped with Smartphones The drivers are well-versed with the way and directions but they cannot remember every small detail to deliver multiple packages or orders. Provide the smartphones to the entire fleet and delivery will be handled in no time without any hassle. The use of smartphones makes things easy for them as they can use the maps to reach the right location and they can easily track different orders on the app which directly enhances the efficiency of the delivery partners. The smartphones allow them to directly connect with their respective delivery agents and vice-versa. 05. Customer Support  Customer support should be there to tackle the problems with the order. If the package was open when delivered or the restaurant was delivering unhealthy or the quantity was not corrected or money was processed but the order was not placed. There can be millions of issues that people can encounter when ordering when online and reliable customer service is a must tackle these. The 24/7 customer support can easily and quickly resolve customer problems and also improves customer relationships.

Document required for Delivery Service License

  • Approval of the Licensing authorities.
  • Passport copies of the partners

  • NOC in case the partner is a non-GCC Citizen.
After the clearance of the above-mentioned documents, RTA releases a NOC that proceeds to DED for completion of the license.
