How to get a Car Renewal in UAE? Online and Offline

Getting your car registration renewed is a must in the United Arab Emirates. If you recently bought a new car then you have two years of relaxation because under the UAE law new cars are exempt from the RTA testing for 2 consecutive years. If you bought a used car then you have a year of relaxation because with used cars the previous owners take care of the registration for a year. Other people who do not fall into this category must get their car registration renewed once a year. Road Traffic Authority of UAE is responsible for the car registrations and a 30 days grace period is given to the owners before the registration expires.
During this time, you can repair all damages that were inspected during the test and should do so before applying for a renewal of the car registration. Failure to renew your registration will result in a fine of AED 500. Also, make sure the car has no pending fines or any other damages.

1. Car test certificate, indicating that your car passed the test from an RTA approved test center.
