Among the documents that can be applied for or renwed at the centre are residence and visit visas; visa adjustments for UAE residents; labour permits and cards; new company and commercial licenses and no objection certificates for commercial sites from the planning section at Dubai municipality.

In addition, individuals can pay utility bills and Municipality fees; clear custom documents; renew driviving licences; pay traffic fines, and complete car registrations.

Al Ansari pointed out that through the centre, customers can access on the spot government services across 14 dedicated counters as well as benefit from other supporting facilities such as banking services offered from Dubai Islamic bank, typing services and dedicated corporate services offered to companies.

"These dedicated corporate services were developed with companies in mind, especially large ones that need to complete a lot of transactions in an easy and hassle free environment. We can ensure that their official documents and transactions are in order and completed on time."
