[Request Certified True Copy](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A certified true copy of a trade license for a tender is a copy examined against the original and certified as genuine by a licensed UAE legal professional, carried out in house, or in some cases directly by the authority that issued the license. Tender authorities usually specify how recent the certification needs to be and sometimes ask for it alongside other certified company documents, so the certification is prepared to fit the specific procurement package rather than as a general-purpose copy. ## Trade License Certification for Tender Submissions Government and semi-government tenders in the UAE often require a certified true copy of the trade license as part of the bid package. This page covers what that certification involves and how to time it to your submission deadline. ## Who Typically Needs This - Companies bidding on government tenders in Dubai and across the UAE - Contractors and suppliers submitting prequalification documents - Businesses responding to semi-government or private sector procurement requests - Companies bidding on several tenders at once, each needing its own certified set - Consortium members preparing documents for a joint bid ## Who Can Request Certification The request is normally made by the company’s general manager or an authorized signatory named on the trade license, or by someone holding a valid power of attorney for the company. Some tender authorities also expect a specific company representative’s details on the bid paperwork, so it is worth checking the tender document’s own instructions before booking. ## How It Works 1. Share the tender’s certification requirement, along with your trade license and any other documents it names. 2. We confirm the certification route and the date window your certified copy needs to fall within. 3. The certified true copy attestation is completed in time for your submission deadline. 4. You receive the certified documents ready to include in your bid package. ## Mistakes to Avoid - Certifying documents too early, so they fall outside the tender’s stated validity window by the submission date - Missing an authority-specific cover sheet or reference number named in the tender documents - Certifying only the trade license when the tender also required MOA, Certificate of Incorporation, or board resolutions certified together - Leaving certification until the last working day before a hard submission deadline ## Typical Situations A contractor bidding on a government infrastructure tender needed a certified true copy of its trade license dated within the tender’s stated validity window. A supplier responding to a semi-government procurement request needed certified copies of its trade license and MOA submitted together in the bid package. A consortium of two companies preparing a joint bid needed each member’s trade license certified separately ahead of the submission date. ## How This Differs From a General Trade License Certification A general certified true copy of a trade license serves whatever purpose the client names. A tender certification is narrower because procurement authorities often set a strict validity window ahead of the submission deadline and sometimes require several company documents certified as a set. Checking the tender’s own instructions before booking avoids a certified copy that arrives outside the accepted window. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Check the tender document for how recent the certification must be, and confirm with us so we can time it accordingly. Many tenders ask for the MOA, Certificate of Incorporation, or board resolutions certified alongside the trade license. Share the full list from the tender document so we can confirm what is needed. In some cases, yes. See our [Same-Day Certified True Copy Attestation](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/same-day-true-copy-attestation-dubai/) page for urgent options, and contact us as early as possible. This is why the validity window matters. If your certified copy has expired against the tender’s own criteria, a fresh certification would need to be done before resubmission. Government and semi-government tenders sometimes have more specific certification requirements than private sector procurement. Always check the specific tender’s instructions rather than assuming a standard format applies. ## Get Your Bid Documents Certified on Time Get your certified true copy of trade license ahead of your submission deadline.
