DEWA Vendor Registration document checklist
The documents DEWA Vendor Registration asks a vendor to submit, extracted from its own published requirements wherever available, with every item cited to its source and rated for how good that evidence actually is — not a generic template.
What DEWA Vendor Registration asks for.
Trade License
CriticalRequiredInferred evidenceMust be issued by Dubai DET or a valid UAE Free Zone. Expiry must be >30 days. Name must match VAT certificate exactly. Note DEWA registration approval is reported to lapse after 2 years, so a licence valid today may still need re-evidencing at renewal.

Corporate Tax Registration
MediumPreferredVerified evidenceUAE Corporate Tax registration certificate / Corporate Tax Registration Number issued by the Federal Tax Authority via EmaraTax. Registration is federally mandatory for all juridical persons under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 (deadlines per FTA Decision No. 3 of 2024; AED 10,000 late-registration penalty), and entities incorporated on or after 2024-03-01 must register within 3 months of incorporation. Listed as PREFERRED rather than required because this specific portal has not been confirmed to demand the certificate in its submission pack — the obligation to hold one is federal, the obligation to upload it is portal-specific. Note the Corporate Tax registration number is distinct from the VAT TRN.

This is a starting point, not a live feed from DEWA Vendor Registration. Portals change their requirements without notice, and unverified/inferred items above are exactly that — not confirmed against the portal's own current published list. Always cross-check against DEWA Vendor Registration's current requirements before submitting. If you have the portal's own requirement document, SoulMen can extract and verify against exactly what it says instead of this starter checklist.
