What is Signage Approval?

Signage Approval is the official permission required from local authorities before installing any type of sign or advertising display in public or commercial spaces. It ensures that your signage complies with city regulations, safety standards, and aesthetic guidelines.

In Dubai, for example, signage approval is essential to:

  • Ensure signs do not obstruct public pathways or traffic

  • Maintain safety standards and prevent hazards

  • Align with urban design and building regulations

  • Avoid fines, penalties, or forced removal of unapproved signs

Types of signage that usually require approval include billboards, hanging signs, banners, window graphics, menu boards, wayfinding signs, and more.

Getting signage approved typically involves submitting designs, dimensions, locations, and materials to the relevant authority, who reviews and grants permission if everything meets the rules.
