Coverage

This is an unofficial, personal-project collection of 1,890 public legal documents gathered from official UAE government websites. It is a research aid, not a complete statement of UAE law.

What's included

686 federal instruments from the official UAE Legislation portal — laws, decree-laws, cabinet resolutions.
Abu Dhabi Official Gazette — 470 instruments extracted from gazette issues (2009–2023).
43+ Abu Dhabi entity sources — circulars, codes of practice, standards, notices, and policies from ADPHC, AD Ports, DCT, ADJD, Customs, DMT, and more.

Known gaps — check the official sources for these

The UAE Civil Transactions Law (Civil Code) not yet included. Read it on the official portal ↗
Dubai emirate law including RERA tenancy rules. See the Dubai Land Department ↗ and Dubai's legislation portal ↗.
DIFC and most ADGM legislation the financial free zones have their own legal systems.
Visa and immigration procedures administered by ICP and GDRFA; only a handful of related instruments are held here.
Family and personal-status matters thin coverage; consult the competent court.
8 federal documents whose official pages have been removed (dead links), and 1 very large law pending a dedicated extraction pass.

Metadata caveats — read before citing

About two-thirds of document metadata is machine-extracted (titles, numbers, dates). Documents flagged "metadata auto-extracted" have not been human-reviewed.
Status pills are conservative. "In force" reflects the official portal's "Active" state at indexing time. "Status unverified" means we make no claim either way.
Amendment chains are incomplete. Relationships shown are only those detectable from document titles and text.
Some gazette instruments were split from full issues by pattern-matching; boundaries are occasionally imperfect.
Arabic coverage of the underlying legal text is still being built out via machine translation — see the disclaimer on any translated document.
