Documents Required for Vehicle Ownership Transfer

Before visiting the vehicle testing and ownership transfer centre, make sure you have the required documents available.

  • Emirates ID of the buyer and seller
  • Vehicle registration card (Mulkiya)
  • Required documents for both the buyer and seller
  • Any additional documents required for the specific ownership transfer transaction

Document requirements can vary depending on the vehicle and transaction. Check the applicable RTA requirements before visiting.

Do Both Buyer and Seller Need to Be Present?

The requirements for buyer and seller presence can depend on the ownership transfer process and authorization arrangements.

Before visiting, confirm the applicable requirements with RTA or the relevant service provider to avoid delays.

How Long Does Vehicle Ownership Transfer Take?

The time required can vary depending on the vehicle, inspection requirements, documents and transaction.

Vehicle testing may be required before the ownership transfer can be completed. The overall process may therefore take longer if the vehicle requires additional inspection or documentation.

For the most accurate processing information, check the applicable RTA requirements before your visit.

What Happens If the Vehicle Fails Testing During Ownership Transfer?

If the vehicle does not meet the applicable technical requirements during inspection, the transfer process may not be completed until the identified issues are addressed.

After the required repairs or corrections, the vehicle may need to undergo reinspection — such as a comprehensive vehicle inspection — before the ownership transfer can proceed.

The inspection result depends on the actual condition of the vehicle and the applicable technical requirements. Passing the inspection cannot be predicted in advance, though a prior vehicle evaluation can help you understand its condition beforehand.
