Flexible lookup
Search using a licence number, an English or Arabic company name, or a licence document.
UAE BUSINESS IDENTITY API
Verify a UAE trade licence inside your workflow.
Connect UAE mainland and free-zone licence checks to supplier onboarding, renewal and exception review without sending teams to a separate portal.
Built for server-side integration · Structured outcomes · Human-controlled decisions
OVERVIEW
A verification signal that fits the process.
Use the API result inside the workflow, evidence rules and approval responsibilities your organisation has defined.
Authority context
Add emirate and authorising-body context when it is available in your intake journey.
Structured result
Map licence identity, authority, legal type, status, registration and expiry fields into your vendor record.
INPUTS
Start with the evidence you already collect.
1
Licence number
Send license_number or the supported licence_number alias.
2
Company name
Search with the business name in English or Arabic.
3
Licence document
Submit the licence document as a binary file when document-led verification fits the workflow.
INTEGRATION NOTES
Designed for a controlled backend workflow.
- At least one of licence number, company name or licence document is required.
- Requests use multipart form data and responses use structured JSON.
- A clear lookup resolves to one company record. A no-match or unclear match does not return a candidate list.
- Documented technical error classes cover invalid requests, authentication, document processing and server errors.
A licence match supports business-identity review. It does not by itself approve a supplier, establish beneficial ownership or replace risk-based due diligence.
WORKFLOW
From API call to documented decision.
Connect from your backend
Keep the API credential server-side and submit the verification request over HTTPS.
Map the company record
Use the returned client identifier and licence fields to enrich the supplier profile.
Route exceptions
Send no-clear-match and processing outcomes to an authorised reviewer instead of treating them as approvals.
RESPONSIBLE AUTOMATION
Automate the check.
Keep people accountable.
Vendoreye helps place verification evidence and exceptions in the right workflow. Your authorised team remains responsible for policy, escalation and approval.

- Check completed and evidence available
- Review required for a mismatch or possible match
- Evidence unavailable or insufficient
- Technical error requiring retry or support
Do not convert an unavailable check or technical error into a pass.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions teams ask before integration.
Does the API cover UAE free zones?
The service is designed for checks across UAE mainland and free-zone licensing contexts.
What happens when the search is ambiguous?
The workflow returns one sufficiently clear company match or no clear match. It does not expose a candidate list for the application to guess from.
Can we use a licence document instead of typing a number?
Yes. The integration supports a licence document as an input as well as licence-number and company-name searches.
