Car registration and re-registration in the UAE: fees

Renewing a light car's registration in Dubai costs about AED 350 to AED 380, plus a AED 20 knowledge and innovation fee, and re-registration of a light vehicle is about AED 400. These are approximate figures from official fee pages and sellers' websites in October 2026. For the total for your car and emirate, describe the car and the service in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Fines, deadlines and other fees

The fees above are for Dubai, and the sources mostly describe Dubai's process, so check the figure for your emirate. Late renewals incur extra charges, so renew before the expiry date. A change of ownership costs about AED 350, and re-registration of a heavier private vehicle, between 3 and 12 tonnes, is AED 500.

Inspection and documents

Most renewals need a vehicle test first. In Dubai the test fee is about AED 120 to AED 170, and a traffic file opening of AED 200 applies only if one is needed. Delivery of the paperwork costs AED 20 for standard delivery, AED 35 for same-day delivery or AED 50 within two hours.

Season and deadlines

Registration runs through the year, so the expiry date matters more than the season. Summer from May to September is very hot, but the test and the renewal are still due on time. If you can, plan the renewal for the mild months from November to March, and in any case renew before the date.

What to write in your request

Name the service (renewal, re-registration, ownership change or inspection), the car's make, model and year, its origin (local or imported), and the emirate where it is registered. List the documents you have, any deadline, and whether you want the paperwork delivered. Add your budget in AED and the service centre you prefer.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers.
