  • Keeping your car legally on the road in the UAE is not optional. Every 12 months your vehicle registration – the Mulkiya – must be renewed with the relevant traffic authority. Driving with an expired Mulkiya can trigger traffic fines that start at AED 500, black points on your licence and, in some emirates, vehicle impoundment. Because a valid insurance certificate is a compulsory part of the renewal, Insurancehub.aehas built a one-stop digital service that lets you renew both your insurance and registration in minutes, from anywhere in the Emirates. No long queues, no confusing paperwork – just a smooth online process backed by our expert advisors.

What is Car Registration Renewal?

  • Car registration renewal is the annual process that extends the validity of your Mulkiya card – the official document proving your vehicle is registered, insured and road-worthy in the UAE. Under Federal Traffic Law, registrations are valid for one year; they must be renewed before the due date shown on the Mulkiya

Why it matters:


  • Confirms your car has valid insurance that meets minimum third-party liability requirements.

  • Verifies the vehicle has passed a safety inspection (for cars older than three years or those with overdue registration).

  • Allows authorities to update any outstanding fines and owner details in the traffic system

    • Failing to renew exposes you to automatic traffic fines, inability to claim insurance in case of an accident and possible seizure of the vehicle. Renewing on time keeps you compliant and fully protected

    Vehicle inspection

    • Submit the application


  • Online via the relevant emirate portal or smartphone app (RTA Dubai, TAMM Abu Dhabi, MOI e-channels, etc.)

  • In person at approved service centres or typing offices if you prefer

    • Pay the renewal fee


    Fees range from AED 350 to AED 450 depending on the emirate, plus AED 120–150 for the passing test when required.
