One department, a wide range of approvals.
Dubai Municipality regulates a broader scope than most people expect: food safety and health permits, building construction and completion, signage and branding, and environmental or waste-related compliance. Many trade licenses — especially food and beverage, health, and industrial activities — depend on a valid Municipality approval alongside the license itself.
BAEZ manages the administrative side of these approvals — preparing applications, submitting building or health permit paperwork, and following up until your certificate or permit is issued.
Please note: BAEZ handles applications, document submission and coordination with Dubai Municipality. Actual food safety inspections, medical tests for health cards, and construction work are carried out by Municipality-authorised inspectors, clinics and contractors — not by us.

Common questions about Municipality approvals.
What's the difference between Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence approval?
Dubai Municipality covers building, health, food safety and environmental compliance — a broader civic scope. Civil Defence focuses specifically on fire and life safety. Many activities, especially food and beverage or industrial premises, need approvals from both, which we can coordinate together.
Do I need a health card if I work in food service?
Yes — staff handling food in Dubai typically need a valid health card, which involves a medical test at an authorised clinic. We handle the application and paperwork side; the medical test itself is conducted by the clinic, not by us.
What is a building completion certificate and when do I need one?
It's Municipality's confirmation that construction or fit-out work matches the approved plans. You'll typically need this before your premises can be used for its licensed activity, once building or renovation work is finished.
Do sign boards need approval before installation?
Generally, yes — exterior signage and branding usually require Municipality approval before installation, to ensure it meets size, placement and safety guidelines. We can handle this application alongside your other approvals.
Does BAEZ carry out inspections or medical tests directly?
No — BAEZ handles the applications, document submission and administrative coordination. Food safety inspections, medical tests for health cards, and construction work are carried out by Municipality-authorised inspectors, clinics and contractors respectively.
