The UAE is at the far end of the spectrum from the UK. A company stamp is not a formality here, it is an operational necessity: invoices, quotations, letters, contracts and government submissions are commonly rejected outright if they arrive unstamped.

Questions

Is a company stamp required in the UAE?

There is generally no statute making it compulsory, but commercial and government practice treats it as required. In practical terms it is: an unstamped invoice is frequently not accepted, and that is the outcome that matters.

Should the stamp be in Arabic or English?

Many companies use both, either on one stamp or as a matching pair. What the receiving body expects should decide it, and government submissions more often expect Arabic.

What number goes on it?

The trade licence number is the one counterparties check. Some stamps also carry a TRN on tax-related paperwork.

This describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it.
