Mirdif's list leans heavily towards household paperwork. Of 11 centers, 6 are Tadbeer (MOHRE domestic workers centers) and 5 are Amer (GDRFA residency). The Amer centers spread across Mirdif, Rashidiya, Nad Al Hamar, Nad Al Sheba and Al Mizhar. If you search "Amer center Rashidiya", the answer is Enjaz Government Transacyion Center at Bin Souqat Center.
The five Amer centers
| Amer center (name as published) | Where | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Exist Government Transactions Center L.L.C | Mirdif, Uptown | Single licence |
| Enjaz Government Transacyion Center L.L.C | Rashidiya, Bin Souqat Center | Enjaz group |
| M B S Government Transactions Center L.L.C | Nad Al Hamar | Single licence |
| Express Convey Document Clearing | Al Mizhar, Arabian Center | Single licence |
| Business Avenue Government Transaction Center | Nad Al Sheba, Avenue Mall | High Level / Amer Lounge group |
GDRFA files all five under its old Deira or Bur Dubai sectors, so an address like "Deira, Mirdif, Uptown" is normal. Hours are not published for any of them. Ring the number on the GDRFA list before a late visit.
Six Tadbeer centers: the reason this area is different
Mirdif and its neighbours have six domestic workers centers, as many as Deira, and several sit inside malls:
- Quality Domestic Workers Services Center, Mirdif Hills Avenue Mall
- M A F Domestic Workers Services Center L.L.C, Arabian Center (the MAF group has 4 licensed points in Dubai)
- Smart Global Domestic Workers Services Center, first floor, Warqa Mall
- Life Plus Domestic Workers Center L.l.c (branch), Al Warqa
- Al Safwa Domestic Workers Services L.L.C, Nad Al Hamar
- Golden Legacy Domestic Workers Services Center LLC, beside Union Coop, Nad Al Hamar
A Tadbeer center is where you recruit a housemaid, nanny or driver, sign the MOHRE domestic worker contract and start the visa. You do not need a Tasheel counter for a domestic worker. Note that Arabian Center has both an Amer center (Express Convey) and a Tadbeer (MAF), so one trip can cover your own residence file and a helper's contract question.
A domestic worker also needs the medical fitness test. Dubai's fee schedule sets AED 270 for the normal service, and domestic workers add AED 50 for the pregnancy test. See our nanny visa guide and the maid visa page for documents and costs.
What this list lacks
There is no Tasheel center and no GDRFA section with an address in Mirdif, Rashidiya, Nad Al Hamar or Al Warqa. Two jobs need you to go elsewhere:
- Company labour work such as a work permit or employment contract: the nearest listed Tasheel counters are in Al Twar and Al Qusais.
- A file an Amer center cannot complete: GDRFA's Tawar Center Section in Al Twar 2 opens Monday to Thursday 07:30 to 19:00, and Friday 07:30 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 19:00.
For Emirates ID, ICP lists a customer happiness center in Al Rashidiya. Our Emirates ID renewal guide covers the fees and late fine.
What the counters charge
In Mirdif, as elsewhere in Dubai, the counter's own charge sits on top of the government fee: about AED 100 to 300 per transaction at an Amer center and AED 40 to 200 per form at a typing shop, going by published price lists checked . MOHRE caps a Tasheel center's commission at AED 72 per service.
Nearby areas
