Dubai: Car registration expired? How to renew it, avoid Dh500 fine in 3 easy steps

Is it that time of the year again? Did you happen to glance on your car registration and realise it will be expiring soon?

Fear not for Dubai motorists have a grace period of one month post expiry during which the vehicle owner is exempted from paying fines. However, once this period elapses, a fine of Dh35 is imposed monthly on the individual by the RTA.

If a motorist with an expired registration is found driving on the roads, a fine of Dh500 along with 4 black points will be levied against the violator. Additionally, the vehicle will be impounded for seven days.

However, motorists can steer clear of these penalties by renewing their car registration beforehand, or during the one-month grace period, ensuring their vehicle gets the tinkering it needs before hitting the road in its new year.

Vehicles more than 3 years old

Vehicles that are three or more years older require a physical inspection before moving onto other steps in the car renewal process.

Here are the testing centres in Dubai:

Vehicles less than 3 years old

Vehicles less than three years old do not require a physical inspection before renewal, making the process much more smoother and digitalised.

Customers can also use Mahboub Chatbot and self-service machines to renew their vehicle registration.
