PRO Services in Sharjah, From the SEDD Licence to Every Staff Visa
PRO Services in Sharjah, From the SEDD Licence to Every Staff Visa
Sharjah renews far more licences than it issues, and for most companies here the real work is annual upkeep: the SEDD licence, the ICP establishment file, MOHRE permits and a steady stream of staff visas. Emiracle offers PRO services in Sharjah that take that upkeep off your desk. We prepare and submit each application on your company's behalf, book EHS medical tests and Emirates ID appointments for employees, and arrange attestation and legal translation through licensed providers. Whether you trade from Sharjah city, an industrial area or the east coast, the file is managed from our Downtown Dubai office.

SEDD reported 33,572 licence renewals against 4,597 new licences in the first half of 2026. Its Industrial Areas Branch handled 14,989 renewals, more than the main centre's 12,675.
SourceSEDD's services guide groups 3 renewal services for expired or nearly expired licences and 10 amendment services covering changes such as trade name, activity and partners, delivered through its digital portal and mobile app.
SourceSharjah has 8 MOHRE accredited business service centres, 7 in Sharjah city and 1 in Kalba.
SourceICP serves Sharjah from its General Directorate on Airport Street in Al Rahmaniya, with further offices in Khor Fakkan, Al Dhaid and the Al Ghubaiba Preventive Medical Center.
SourceRenewal season never really ends in Sharjah
With more than seven renewals for every new licence in the first half of 2026, Sharjah is an upkeep market. A trading company may have its licence, a warehouse in an industrial area, a branch in Khor Fakkan and a dozen staff visas, each running on a different date.
We build one schedule for all of them and start each renewal early. That gives time to fix an unattested lease or an expired Civil Defence certificate before SEDD sees the file, rather than after.
Changing the licence without breaking the visas
SEDD offers 10 separate amendment services, from a new trade name to adding a partner or activity. Each change must then appear in the ICP establishment file and the MOHRE record, or the next visa application is rejected for a signatory or name mismatch.
Emiracle drafts the amendment, arranges any notarised documents, and then updates immigration and labour records in sequence. Where a foreign corporate partner joins, we arrange attestation and legal translation of its documents through licensed providers.
Industrial areas and the east coast
SEDD's busiest renewal desk is its Industrial Areas Branch, which reflects how many workshops, warehouses and factories hold Sharjah licences. Those businesses usually carry larger blue collar workforces, so labour contracts, medical renewals and visa cancellations come round constantly.
For teams in Khor Fakkan, Kalba or Dibba Al Hisn, we use the ICP office in Khor Fakkan and the MOHRE accredited centre in Kalba where attendance is needed, so staff stay close to site.

- SEDD licence renewal and amendments

Frequently asked questions
Can Emiracle renew my SEDD licence without me visiting Sharjah?
Yes, SEDD renewals are submitted through its digital portal. You visit only if SEDD asks for an original document or a signature in person.
Who runs residence visa medicals in Sharjah?
Emirates Health Services runs them at its Medical Examination Centres for Residency in Sharjah. Each employee attends in person, and we book the slot.
Is a Sharjah establishment card issued by ICP?
Yes, Sharjah company immigration files are handled through ICP, which runs its main Sharjah office on Airport Street in Al Rahmaniya.
My workers are in Kalba. Do they need to come to Sharjah city?
No, usually not. Kalba has a MOHRE accredited centre and Khor Fakkan has an ICP office, so most attendance can happen on the east coast.
How many amendment types does SEDD offer?
SEDD lists 10 amendment services, including trade name, activity and partner changes. We confirm which one fits and update your visas to match.
Can you handle attestation for a foreign shareholder?
Yes, Emiracle arranges attestation and legal translation of corporate documents through licensed providers before they are submitted to SEDD.
