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.
