## Notes and history

- **History (2002):** DMCC describes itself as a Government of Dubai Authority established in 2002. Its About page says it grew from 28 member companies in 2003 to more than 26,000 member companies in 2025. [source](https://dmcc.ae/about)
- **Good to know:** The free zone covers two districts: Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), which is divided into lettered clusters, and Uptown Dubai, where DMCC's headquarters at Uptown Tower is located. DMCC reports 87 residential and commercial towers across the two. [source](https://dmcc.ae/about) [source](https://dmcc.ae/contact)
- **History (2024-10-10):** New DMCC Company Regulations, Companies Limited by Guarantee Regulations, Licensing Rules and Family Office Rules came into effect on 10 October 2024. Among the changes, share capital may now be denominated in AED or another currency approved by the Registrar, and new holding company and freelance licence categories were added. [source](https://dmcc.ae/hubfs/Compliance%20Documents%202024/DMCC%20Comprehensive%20Summary%20of%20Changes-%20Final.pdf)
- **Good to know (2024-10-10):** Most DMCC companies must lease or own premises in the free zone, but under the October 2024 rules a special purpose vehicle (SPV) only needs a registered office address, which may be that of a DMCC-registered corporate services provider, and a freelance licence holder does not need a commercial lease. [source](https://dmcc.ae/hubfs/Compliance%20Documents%202024/DMCC%20Comprehensive%20Summary%20of%20Changes-%20Final.pdf) [source](https://dmcc.ae/business/spvs-and-holding-companies)
- **Good to know (2025-12-08):** A DMCC company whose branch licensed by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) will work from the same JLT office needs a Dual Licence Office Permit, valid for one year. DMCC's guideline (version 2, issued 8 December 2025) states that entities with common shareholders or operating as subsidiaries are not eligible.
