Do you want to celebrate an event with fireworks? In the UAE, you need a permit from a licensed entity to do so. Setting off fireworks without a permit from a licensing authority can lead to a fine of at least Dh50,000 and imprisonment, as stated in Federal Decree Law No.17.
Here is a guide to obtaining the official permit for fireworks in Dubai and Sharjah. In both these emirates, approval for these events can be obtained from the respective civil aviation authority.
Dubai
To hold a fireworks show in the emirate, security approval is needed from the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (Sira).
Companies can apply for the 'firework show permit' through the e-service portal on the authority's website. The documents required are a letter with the event details, and a trade licence.
Fees
To conduct a laser show or any sort of pyrotechnic display, including fireworks, in the emirate, approval must also be granted from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority.
Businesses in the entertainment sector can apply for a no objection certificate (NOC) on the authority's website.
On the DCAA website, click on 'services' at the top, and select 'issuance permits for aviation safety operations'. Once done, you can choose 'application for a no-objection certificate to conduct a laser or pyrotechnic display'. Then, click on start service and log in through the account on the website, UAE Pass, Facebook, or Google.
After applying online and paying the fees, the permit will be issued instantly.
Fees
To conduct a firework display in the emirate, you must get approval from Sharjah Department of Civil Aviation. You can do so by visiting the official website, and clicking on 'services.'
