In a significant advancement for business owners in Sharjah, the Sharjah Civil Defence Authority has announced an initiative to automatically issue safety compliance certificates for low-risk facilities. This proactive measure, linked directly to commercial licence data, aims to enhance efficiency and support the emirate’s ongoing digital transformation strategy for 2026-2028.
Streamlined Certificate Issuance Process
The new service allows facility owners to receive safety compliance certificates without the need to submit separate applications. Instead, these certificates will be generated automatically following the issuance or renewal of their commercial licences. This approach not only simplifies the process for businesses but also reduces the time and effort required to obtain necessary documents.
Aligning with Digital Transformation Goals
This move is in compliance with Sharjah’s digital transformation strategy, which seeks to digitise and improve governmental services for a seamless and effective user experience. It represents a significant step towards enhancing institutional performance while laying the groundwork for sustainable digital transformation within government agencies.
Leadership Insights
Lieutenant General Yusuf Obaid Harmoul Al Shamsi expressed that the launch of this service marks a new chapter in the authority’s digital evolution. He stated, “We are committed to developing our services in a way that places the customer at the heart of the development process. This transition moves away from traditional application submission methods to a more efficient, proactive model, where services are completed automatically once requirements are met, thereby saving time and enhancing user experience.”
This initiative not only supports the business community but also reinforces the authority’s role in fostering a safer environment across the emirate.
