How to check your fines
- Any emirate: the Ministry of Interior (MOI UAE) app or website — search by plate number, traffic file number or Emirates ID.
- Dubai: the Dubai Police app (Traffic Services → Fines) or website, or the RTA website.
- Sign in with UAE Pass to see every fine on your name and your cars in one list.
How to pay
Pay by card in the same apps and websites, or at Smart Police Stations and police service centres. Unpaid fines must be cleared before you can renew a driving licence, and usually before the car registration.
Can I pay less?
- Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police gives 35% off if you pay within 60 days of the violation and 25% off within one year (serious violations excluded).
- Dubai and the other emirates: discounts are announced as campaigns (for example around National Day). When one is running, it is applied automatically when you pay.
- Instalments: Dubai Police offers 0% instalment plans through partner banks for total fines of AED 5,000 or more.
Avoid the next one
- Check your fines once a month — especially if other people drive your car.
- Keep your registration, insurance and licence dates in one place so nothing expires while you drive.
