We help individuals and security companies in Dubai obtain mandatory SIRA approvals—covering training, licensing, and compliance—so you can operate legally, meet industry standards, and avoid costly delays.
Operating any security service or installing regulated systems without this certification is strictly illegal, leading to heavy fines (which can escalate to tens of thousands of AED), potential business suspension, and the ultimate cancellation of the trade license. Therefore, SIRA approval is the absolute cornerstone for establishing a trusted and legally compliant security presence in Dubai.
Individuals: Security guards, supervisors, managers, consultants, CCTV operators, or event security staff.
Companies: Businesses offering physical security (like guarding or patrols), electronic security (CCTV, alarms, fire systems), or security consulting.

SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency) approval is an official certification required for individuals and companies to legally work in the security industry within Dubai.
Both individuals (security guards, supervisors, CCTV operators, consultants, event security staff) and companies (guarding services, CCTV/alarm installation firms, security consultants) must obtain approval.
Applicants need a completed application form, passport/Emirates ID copy, photos, UAE residency proof or visa, good conduct certificate, and a medical fitness certificate.
Individuals must complete SIRA-approved training covering topics like security procedures, first aid, fire protection, and CCTV operations, depending on their role.
Companies need a valid DED trade license, MOA, business plan, company bank account, and must appoint a licensed SIRA Security Manager.
The timeline varies by role or business type, but approvals can typically be secured within a few weeks if all documents and requirements are complete.
No. Operating without SIRA approval is illegal and may result in fines, license suspension, or closure of the business.
Yes. All electronic security systems such as CCTV, alarms, and access controls must meet SIRA’s technical guidelines and obtain a compliance certificate.
No. SIRA approvals must be renewed periodically. The validity depends on the type of license or certification obtained.
Specialized consultants streamline the process by handling documentation, training coordination, compliance checks, and communication with SIRA to secure faster approvals and avoid costly delays.
