Becoming Authorised

In order to conduct financial services through the Dubai International Financial Centre, individuals or entities need to seek authorisation from the DFSA. Authorisation is given in the form of a licence which is issued by the DFSA, which specifies the type of financial services that can be conducted.

For more information about the authorisation process, refer to the sections under the specific entities:
• Authorised Firms
• Authorised Individuals
• Authorised Market Institutions

Firms wishing to conduct other services should refer to the Becoming Registered section.
