Account setup steps​

Step 1: Verify your email and ID
  1. Email verification: You’ll receive a secure code to confirm your email address.
  2. ID verification: Scan your Emirates ID and record a quick selfie video.

Here are a few things you might find helpful in this step:

  • Place your Emirates ID on a flat surface.
  • Make sure there’s no glare or reflections during scanning
  • Hold your phone steady while taking the selfie
  • Use good lighting (natural light works best!)
  • Ensure you’re alone in the frame
  • Wipe your front and back cameras to improve image quality
Step 2: Upload required documents
  1. Upload your trade license if you are setting up as a Business
  2. Upload your freelance permit if you’re setting up as an Individual and you have one.
  3. Upload any of the following documents to confirm your trading address:
  • A utility bill (Etisalat, du, DEWA, SEWA, ADDC, Empower, or FEWA)
  • A recent bank statement
  • A registered tenancy contract in your name, like Ejari (Dubai), Tawtheeq (Abu Dhabi/Sharjah), or Tasdeeq (Ajman)

Here are a few tips to note when uploading your documents:

  • Use a recent utility bill (from the last 3 months) that’s easy to read. A PDF is best.
  • Make sure your name and address are clearly visible on your documents.

  • Your Trading Address, if you operate your business somewhere other than your business address

  2. IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
  3. Select the account type (Business or Individual)

Accuracy of information provided​

Nomod is for legitimate businesses only. You must be an authorised representative of the business you are signing up for Nomod. We may ask for evidence of this. The more detail you can provide about what your business sells, where, how, and to whom, together with supporting evidence, the easier it will be for us to complete verification of your business. Links to your business’ website, social media profiles, and customer reviews will also help us to build a picture of your business. Always ensure the information you enter is true and accurate. We will not be able to verify your business with incorrect information.
