Signage Approval in Dubai is required for any new installation, replacement, or alteration of signs whether they’re illuminated channel letters, vinyl graphics, wayfinding boards, or digital displays. The process involves obtaining clearances from Dubai Municipality’s Building Control Department (for public roads and façades), relevant free-zone authorities (e.g., DDA, Trakhees, Nakheel), and sometimes DEWA (for electrical connections). This multi-authority approval ensures that your signage meets standards for structural safety, visual design, illumination levels, and placement, while harmonizing with the cityscape’s aesthetic guidelines.
