Unlike DM or DDA, JAFZA requires the incoming contractor to hold JAFZA-specific registration — a general Dubai trade license alone isn't sufficient for facilities within the free zone.
JAFZA Contractor Change & Permit Transfer Dubai
JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone) operates its own building permit and contractor registration system, distinct from both DM and general Trakhees processes — contractor changes and permit transfers here follow JAFZA's specific free zone requirements.

JAFZA Contractor Change — FAQs
Does the incoming contractor need JAFZA-specific registration?
Yes — a general Dubai trade license isn't sufficient; JAFZA maintains its own contractor registry for free zone facilities.
Is the process different from other Trakhees areas?
Yes — JAFZA operates its own free zone-specific system, distinct from general Trakhees processes elsewhere.
What if my incoming contractor isn't yet JAFZA-registered?
Registration can typically be processed alongside the contractor change, though it adds time to the overall timeline.
Does JAFZA also handle permit transfers for ownership changes?
Yes — JAFZA processes both contractor changes and facility ownership/lease transfers through its own system.
Can Structural Solutions verify JAFZA registration status?
Yes — we confirm registration status before submission to avoid delays.
