A match links the website to a legal entity in the tracker. It does not mean every service is authorised. No match does not mean the business is unlicensed. Check the official regulator record before relying on a result.
Common questions
About the UAE VASP licence checker.
What does a website match mean?
It means Ape Law has reviewed the website and linked it to a legal entity in the UAE VASP Licence Tracker. The licence may apply only to certain activities, entities or jurisdictions.
What happens if there is no match?
The extension does not call the website unlicensed. The business may use another domain, its records may have changed, or the relationship may still need review.
Which UAE regulators are covered?
The tracker covers VARA, ADGM FSRA, DIFC DFSA, the Central Bank of the UAE and the Capital Market Authority.
Does the extension collect browsing history?
No. Chrome and Firefox read tab URLs locally to update the toolbar icon and check the active hostname. The extension does not transmit those URLs or keep a record of the websites you visit.
