The Problem
Dubai Law No. 7 Changed the Rules for Every Contractor
Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025 (published 8 July 2025, effective 8 January 2026) established a unified Contractor Register managed by Dubai Municipality via the Invest in Dubai platform. Every contractor operating in Dubai — including free zones and DIFC — must now register, obtain a classification tier, ensure all technical staff hold valid Professional Competency Certificates (PCCs), get prior written approval for all subcontractors, and retain project documents for 10 years. Most contractors are still tracking all of this in Excel spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. ContractorPass replaces that chaos with one compliance dashboard.

FAQs
Dubai Law No. 7 & ContractorPass — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025?
Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025 regulates contracting activities in the Emirate of Dubai. Published 8 July 2025 and effective 8 January 2026, it mandates all contractors to register on the unified Dubai Municipality Contractor Registry, obtain classification tiers, ensure staff hold Professional Competency Certificates (PCCs), get prior approval for subcontractors, and retain documents for 10 years.
What are the fines for non-compliance with Law No. 7?
Fines range from AED 1,000 to AED 100,000 per violation for first offences. Repeat violations within one year are doubled up to AED 200,000. Additional penalties include suspension of activities (up to one year), classification downgrade, and deregistration from the Dubai Municipality Contractor Registry.
What is a Professional Competency Certificate (PCC)?
A PCC is a Professional Competency Certificate issued by Dubai Municipality. Under Law No. 7, all technical staff (engineers, technicians, safety officers) working on construction projects in Dubai must hold a valid PCC. Deploying uncertified personnel carries fines of AED 1,000 to AED 100,000.
What is ContractorPass?
ContractorPass is a compliance management platform built specifically for Dubai contractors to comply with Law No. 7 of 2025. It tracks DM registration, staff PCC certifications, subcontractor approvals, trade licence expiry, and document retention — providing a real-time compliance score and automated expiry alerts.
What is the compliance deadline for Dubai contractors?
Law No. 7 came into force on 8 January 2026. Existing contractors have until 8 January 2027 to regularise their status (with a possible one-year extension by the Committee). New contractors must comply immediately before starting any contracting activity.
Do employers need to verify contractor compliance?
Yes. Under Law No. 7, employers and project owners must verify contractor registration and classification before engagement and throughout the project duration. ContractorPass provides a free public verification tool at contractorpass.ae/verify where anyone can check a contractor's compliance status.
Does ContractorPass send WhatsApp notifications?
Yes. On Professional, Enterprise, and Corporate plans, ContractorPass sends WhatsApp notifications for staff PCC invites, subcontractor detail requests, and daily compliance digests. Each staff member and subcontractor can have a separate WhatsApp number (workers often use their home-country SIM for WhatsApp). If WhatsApp is unavailable, the system automatically falls back to email.
Is ContractorPass free?
ContractorPass offers a 14-day free trial on every paid plan — no credit card required to start. Paid plans start at AED 299/month for the Starter tier and scale up to Enterprise. The free public verification tool at contractorpass.ae/verify is free to use for any employer or project owner checking a contractor's compliance status.
Can I download ContractorPass?
ContractorPass is a cloud-based platform — there is nothing to download or install. Sign in at contractorpass.ae from any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. Your data is hosted in Azure UAE North for Dubai data-residency compliance, and you always have the latest version with no manual updates.
Does ContractorPass have a mobile app?
ContractorPass is a responsive web application that works on any mobile browser — there is no native iOS or Android app required. Staff and subcontractors receive WhatsApp and email links to upload documents directly from their phones. Compliance officers can manage the full dashboard from a mobile browser when on site.
