Buying a car in Dubai is a relatively streamlined process for residents, but it requires specific documentation and a clear understanding of the registration steps. 1. Essential Requirements
Use the VIN (Chassis Number) on the RTA website or Ministry of Interior (MOI) portal to check for accident history or major repairs.
Required if you are financing through a bank (salary certificate and 3–6 months of bank statements). 2. Buying a New Car
Expect to pay ~AED 350 for ownership transfer and ~AED 420 for new registration.
Ensure the seller has cleared all traffic fines; these must be paid before the transfer can proceed. 4. Quick Buying & Selling Services
