The good news is that authorities in the UAE have made the process of renewal simple and seamless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The car owners are given a 30-day grace period for renewing expired registration. This permits car owners to conduct necessary repairs on their car if it fails the inspection procedure. This is why car insurance policies are 13 months long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formerly car owners had to pay <strong>Dh 10<\/strong> for every month that they failed to renew the car registration after the 30-day grace period. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, since April 2018, the fine has increased to <strong>Dh 500<\/strong> and four black points while they pass via new toll gates in Abu Dhabi. Such cars can be impounded for 7 days, and in some cases, the drivers have lost their licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Car Registration in Dubai Renewal Process<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-style: 20px;\"><strong>Documents required:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, pay up all bills related to the car like unpaid traffic fines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You must also resolve any black points with the Dubai or Abu Dhabi police. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For renewing registration, you require your <strong>Emirates driving license<\/strong> and <strong>Emirates ID<\/strong> as well as 3 important documents:<strong> car test certificate<\/strong> (car must pass the exam), <strong>old registration card<\/strong> and <strong>renewed motor vehicle insurance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-style: 20px; font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Getting the car tested<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In their first two years, new cars are exempt from testing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this, you will need to visit one of the RTA or ADNOC vehicle testing centres to have your car assessed and earn the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpassed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 certificate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is to ensure that the car is roadworthy and its tyres, suspension, steering, braking systems as well as chassis are in good condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the vehicle category, you must also display your fire extinguisher, spare wheel, and safety triangle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The test costs around Dh 170, takes 20 to 40 minutes, based on customer volumes and is valid for 30 days.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the case, validity lapses or car fails test; it must be subject to a re-test which needs fees to be paid again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where To Go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy a car freshly from a dealer, he will take care of renewing registration in the first year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But in the second year, you must do the renewal yourself.
