What Information Should Be Included on a Company Stamp in the UAE?

And what happens if you get it wrong?

🧠 Is There a Legal Format for a Company Stamp in the UAE?

Not exactly. There’s no official federal law in the UAE that mandates what must appear on a company stamp.

But here’s the catch:

Banks, government entities, the FTA, and contract partners won’t accept your stamp unless it includes specific elements.

So while it’s not “legally regulated” — it’s absolutely functionally mandatory.

📋 What Must Be Included on Every Company Stamp?

If you want your stamp to be accepted across all Emirates, here’s what you must include:

✅ Company name in English

✅ Company name in Arabic

✅ Name of the Emirate (e.g., Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi)

✅ U.A.E. (yes, with the three dots)

🛑 Forget one of these — and your stamp could get rejected by the bank, the FTA, or a licensing authority.

⚠️ What Happens If You Use the Wrong Emirate?

It’s one of the most common reasons we see stamps getting rejected.

Some business owners:

1. Have a company registered in RAK or Sharjah
2. But list Dubai on the stamp because that’s where their office is

❌ Wrong move. The stamp must reflect the Emirate listed on your business license, not your physical mailing address.

At Stampman.ae, we guide you before you print — so you don’t waste time, money, or lose a client over a rejected stamp.

🖼️ What Optional Information Can You Include?

While not required, you can add:

1. 🖼️ Company logo – makes your stamp more professional and recognizable
2. 📞 Contact number or address – only if essential to your business (e.g., doctors, clinics)
3. 🔢 Trade license number – optional, but takes up space
4. 📬 P.O. Box – useful for companies that rely on mail-based operations

🎯 We recommend keeping your stamp clear, minimal, and compliant — especially if you’ll use it on legal, tax, or government documents.

🎨 What Colors and Shapes Are Allowed?

Here’s the good news: There are no color or shape restrictions by law.

But in practice:

1. 💙 Blue is preferred for legal and banking documents
2. 🔴 Red, ⚫ black, and 🟢 green are also widely accepted
3. 💖 Some industries (like salons) opt for pink or purple
4. 🌟 Luxury brands love using gold ink — and yes, that’s valid too

As for shapes:

1. 🔵 Circle
2. 🟡 Oval
3. ⬛ Square
4. 🟥 Rectangle

All are accepted. Just don’t go wild with odd formats unless you’re 100% sure where and how it’ll be used.

Want a fun design with stars, lines, or extra flair? No problem — as long as the mandatory elements are still clearly visible.
