Dubai Company and Security Scope

Guardforce Security Services is an active Dubai civil company. The official Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism record shows licence number 594071, issued on 16 April 2007 and valid through 15 April 2027.

The current public licence record lists Property Guard Services, Party Security & Private Guarding Services, and Lifeguard Services. However, regulated private security work remains subject to Dubai law, current SIRA requirements and the scope and validity of the relevant company and personnel licences.

Therefore, Guardforce provides security services only in the Emirate of Dubai. This company record does not authorise security work in another emirate. Guardforce may provide lifeguard services across the UAE, subject to the requirements for each assignment.
