Dubai now requires registered contractors
Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025 created a single Contractor Register run by Dubai Municipality. Since 8 January 2026, clients may not engage contractors that are not registered and classified, and existing contractors have until 8 January 2027 to regularise. SoukLocal shows each contractor's register status on their listing.

Common questions
What is SoukLocal?
SoukLocal is a UAE marketplace for licence-checked local businesses. It launches in Dubai with renovation, fit-out and maintenance contractors. Every listed business is checked against its trade licence and, for contracting work, the Dubai Municipality Contractor Register, and you reach them on WhatsApp in one tap.
Is SoukLocal live yet?
Not fully. We are verifying our founding contractors in Dubai now. You can tell us about your project today and we will contact you as soon as verified businesses in your community are live. Businesses can join free during the founding period.
How do you check a contractor?
We check the trade licence with the issuing authority and, for contracting work in Dubai, registration on the Dubai Municipality Contractor Register required by Law No. 7 of 2025. Each verified listing shows what we checked and when.
Can a business pay to rank higher?
No. Ranking in search results follows published rules: relevance, distance, verification status and reviews. Any paid placement in future will be clearly labelled Sponsored and kept separate from the results.
Does SoukLocal charge homeowners?
No. Searching, comparing and requesting quotes is free for homeowners and tenants.
