VEHICLE CARD RENEWAL AND NEW REGISTRATION
The Vehicle Card, also known as Mulkiya, is the official registration document that proves the legal ownership and validity of a vehicle in the UAE. Whether for a newly purchased car or an existing vehicle, keeping the Mulkiya updated is essential for compliance, road safety, and insurance coverage.
New Vehicle Registration
For brand-new or imported vehicles, registration is the first step to legally drive on UAE roads.
Key requirements include:
Submission of Emirates ID, passport copy, and valid driving license.
Vehicle purchase invoice or customs clearance (for imports).
Insurance policy from an authorized provider.
Vehicle testing/inspection (if applicable).
Payment of registration fees.
Issuance of Mulkiya and license plates.
Vehicle Card Renewal
Vehicle registration must be renewed annually to remain valid.
Key steps include:
Vehicle testing and inspection (for cars over three years old).
Valid insurance policy covering the renewal period.
Clearing any traffic fines or pending dues.
Submission of Emirates ID and existing Mulkiya.
Payment of renewal fees.
Issuance of an updated Mulkiya with extended validity.
Importance
Having a valid Vehicle Card ensures legal compliance, avoids fines or vehicle impoundment, and provides proof of ownership. With professional assistance, both new registrations and renewals can be completed quickly, ensuring smooth mobility and peace of mind.
VEHICLE CARD CANCEL
Vehicle card cancellation, also known as Mulkiya cancellation, is the official process of deactivating a vehicle’s registration in the UAE. It is required when selling a car outside the UAE, exporting a vehicle, scrapping it, or transferring ownership to another emirate. The process ensures that the owner is released from all legal and financial obligations tied to the vehicle.
Key elements of Vehicle Card Cancellation include:
Clearing outstanding dues: Payment of any pending traffic fines, Salik charges, or other balances before cancellation.
Insurance adjustment: Canceling or transferring the vehicle’s insurance policy as required.
Vehicle export or scrap certificate: For vehicles being exported or scrapped, an official certificate must be obtained from the relevant authority.
Submission of documents: Including Emirates ID, passport copy, existing Mulkiya, and export/scrap approval if applicable.
Payment of cancellation fees: Applicable charges must be settled with the licensing authority (e.g., RTA in Dubai or other emirate traffic departments).
Issuance of cancellation certificate: An official document confirming the vehicle registration has been canceled.
Canceling the vehicle card ensures that the owner’s liability is cleared and the vehicle is legally removed from the UAE traffic system. This step is essential for individuals or businesses exporting cars, scrapping old vehicles, or ending ownership obligations.
