Legal Jurisdictions for UAE

All legal entities must be registered against a jurisdiction that is governed by a legal authority.

A legal jurisdiction is a combination of thelegislative category (such as labor law) and the physical territory (such as a group of countries, a country, a state, or a county) to which legal rules are grounded. Jurisdictions must be set up before creating registrations, because a jurisdiction is required in the registration process. A jurisdiction must also have a start date and end date to show when the jurisdiction is effective and when you can register against it.

For the UAE, use the predefined jurisdiction United Arab Emirates Social Insurance.

Note: An identifying jurisdiction is automatically associated with all legal entities created for the territory. It represents the jurisdiction that a company has to register with when first created, such as Chamber of Commerce or Companies House. Registration information for the identifying jurisdiction is required when creating a legal employer.
