how much is penalty if rakez license is expired

The late penalty for an expired RAKEZ license is AED 50 per day from the trade licence expiry date. RAKEZ also notes that third-party fines may apply to related files, such as immigration and other linked licences.

What that means

  • The fee starts immediately after expiry.
  • The longer the delay, the higher the total penalty.
  • In some cases, related compliance issues can add extra costs beyond the daily late fee.

Simple example

If a license is renewed 10 days late, the late fee would be AED 500 at AED 50 per day, before any other charges.

Important note

One source also mentions a separate violation code with penalties like AED 1,500 per month for up to 6 months for licence-expiration-related violations, but the RAKEZ renewal guidance specifically states the daily late renewal fee is AED 50 per day.

Bottom line: expect AED 50/day for a late RAKEZ licence renewal, plus any extra linked fines if applicable.
