for Law No. 7 of 2025

Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025 regulates contracting activities in the Emirate of Dubai. Published 8 July 2025 and effective 8 January 2026, it mandates all contractors to register on the unified Dubai Municipality Contractor Registry, obtain classification tiers, ensure staff hold Professional Competency Certificates (PCCs), get prior approval for subcontractors, and retain documents for 10 years.

Fines range from AED 1,000 to AED 100,000 per violation for first offences. Repeat violations within one year are doubled up to AED 200,000. Additional penalties include suspension of activities (up to one year), classification downgrade, and deregistration from the Dubai Municipality Contractor Registry.

A PCC is a Professional Competency Certificate issued by Dubai Municipality. Under Law No. 7, all technical staff (engineers, technicians, safety officers) working on construction projects in Dubai must hold a valid PCC. Deploying uncertified personnel carries fines of AED 1,000 to AED 100,000.

ContractorPass is a compliance management platform built specifically for Dubai contractors to comply with Law No. 7 of 2025. It tracks DM registration, staff PCC certifications, subcontractor approvals, trade licence expiry, and document retention — providing a real-time compliance score and automated expiry alerts.

Law No. 7 came into force on 8 January 2026. Existing contractors have until 8 January 2027 to regularise their status (with a possible one-year extension by the Committee). New contractors must comply immediately before starting any contracting activity.
