In a groundbreaking move, the UAE has introduced the Digital Creator Trade License, a specialized legal permit designed to support and empower digital creators, influencers, and digital entrepreneurs. This license, a collaboration between Lyvely and RAK DAO, is set to revolutionize the digital content and social media promotion space.
A Gateway to Freedom and Legitimacy
Farah Zafar, co-founder and CEO of Lyvely, emphasized the significance of the license, stating, "The license is more than just a license; it's a gateway to freedom, ownership, and legitimacy for millions of creators."
A Strategic Partnership
The partnership between Lyvely and RAK DAO offers regulatory clarity and long-term security for digital revenue streams. Based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, RAK DAO is accelerating the future of technology, innovation, and Web3 with this initiative with Lyvely.
Building the Foundation for the Future of Income
Lyvely is an international franchise of our brand name Media, and they are building the foundation for the future of income. With this license, creators can obtain a residency visa and access to UAE corporate banking services, setting the stage for sustainable growth and professional development.
Empowering Creators
The Digital Creator Trade License will empower content creators, influencers, streamers, educators, and digital entrepreneurs to register their businesses under UAE jurisdiction. This license provides tools for cross-border monetization, tokenized earnings, and scalable brand building, enabling creators to move from platform-dependent hustlers to legally recognized entrepreneurs.
Regulatory Compliance and Assurance
The license is issued under the UAE Media Council and ensures that content creators comply with legal requirements designed to protect intellectual property rights and promote transparency in digital media activities. It also helps creators grow confidently in one of the world’s most digitally connected markets, providing them with legal recognition and credibility.
The UAE Advertiser Permit
Along with the Digital Creator Trade License, there is the UAE Advertiser Permit, a mandatory permit for social media promotions that complements the trade license by regulating digital advertisements, defining relationships between creators, brands, and audiences, and enforcing compliance with advertising and media content standards. The permit is initially free for three years for UAE citizens and residents, requires clear display of permit numbers on social media, and sets standards to prevent fraudulent advertising practices.
A Safe Haven for Sovereign Creators
This license is a strategic signal positioning the UAE as a safe haven for sovereign creators, offering them a legal structure, compliance assurance, eligibility for monetization, and integration into the emerging regulated digital content economy.
In summary, the Digital Creator Trade License, introduced with support from Lyvely and RAK DAO, benefits UAE-based digital creators by providing legal structure, compliance assurance, eligibility for monetization, and integration into the emerging regulated digital content economy, empowering them to operate professionally and sustainably within the UAE’s regulatory framework.
