As the festive season kicks off with Diwali, UAE National Day, and New Year’s Eve, Dubai is all set to dazzle! Fireworks are a must for the celebrations, but here’s a crucial tip: lighting private fireworks without a permit can result in hefty fines—up to AED 50,000—and even jail time. To avoid burning a hole in your pocket, make sure to follow these steps and apply for a fireworks permit ASAP!
Obtain Your Fireworks Permit
If you’re a business, getting a fireworks permit is quite straightforward. You’ll need to apply for a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), which allows you to conduct laser or pyrotechnic displays. Just remember, permits are only issued to businesses for entertainment events, not to individuals.
Applying For A Fireworks Permit Step-by-Step
Here’s how it works:
- Register on the DCAA Website: Create an account to get started.
- Apply for the Fireworks Service: Complete the application for the fireworks permit.
- Pay Online: The total cost is AED 2,000, along with a small Knowledge Dirham Fee (AED 10) and an Innovation Fee (AED 10).
- Receive Instant Approval: After your payment, approval is quick and hassle-free!
Celebrate Safely & Responsibly
If you’re gearing up for a big celebration, fireworks can truly elevate the night—but make sure you have a permit! Celebrate the season worry-free by following the regulations, and help keep Dubai’s festive spirit shining bright!
