Other Business License Types for the Entrepreneurs
License Types for Social Media Influencers in Dubai
To make the profession of social media influencers more legalized and protected, the licensing authorities decided to create a permit for them.
The National Media Council (NMC) is the regulatory body that supports all media-related initiatives and activities in the UAE.
There are two options to get a media license as social media influencer in the UAE:
Individual License from the NMC
One can obtain a trade license from the economic department as a commercial entity willing to do business in the UAE. Then get an individual license from NMC for becoming a social media influencer.
Contract with an NMC Certified Agency
One can get a contract with an NMC certified agency, it includes a few costs but would be a cheaper option.
It will be almost like working with a large agency, it might hamper your creativity as an individual. The agency will be having its own set of requirements, guidelines, and operations while working on social platforms.
