How do I transfer ownership of my car in Fujairah?
Before transferring ownership, sellers must ensure the buyer has a valid UAE resident visa, a UAE driver license, and an insurance certificate. The seller needs to have the mulkiya, Emirates ID, passport with residence visa, and confirmation of loan payment/transfer of loan if the car is on loan. Once these documents are attained, an RTA appointment can be scheduled.
At the RTA:
- Sellers should clear any outstanding fines - please note whilst most fines can be dealt with at the RTA quickly, there are some fines such as violations that have received black points in another Emirate which will need to be cleared before you organise a visit to the RTA.
- Buyers should fill out a vehicle permit application form at the typing centre.
- Get your car inspected - A successful basic inspection is a prerequisite by the RTA before transferring ownership. Therefore, sellers should consider fixing major faults before the RTA visit. 2 main reasons for failing the inspection are worn down tires or brakes. It’s highly recommended that the buyer does a comprehensive inspection at RTA to have a good understanding of the car condition at the point of purchase.
- Transferring the car - Once the above steps are cleared, a vehicle registration fee must be paid in order for the new registration card to be issued. A further license plate printing fee must be paid if applicable for this to be issued. Sellers can hand over their existing license plate to the RTA for a fee if they want to hold it for future car registration.
- Salik Tag - Seller’s should remove their salik tag from the car to avoid the buyer using their tag. Buyer’s can purchase a new salik tag at the RTA.
CarSwitch will guide you through the transfer with free access to our partner lane at Tasjeel and provide step-by-step instructions to ensure you’re well prepared. For more information, you can also read up on how to transfer your car at the RTA.

Can you sell a car if it's on finance?
To sell your car which is currently under loan - first, you will need to contact your bank to find out the outstanding loan amount as well as the early settlement fee if applicable. Once you know the exact outstanding amount, the 2 options you have to sell your car is:
-
Find a buyer willing to clear your auto loan
In order to guarantee the buyer that the transfer of ownership will be done to their name once the auto loan is cleared, a “Seller's Agreement” will be required to be signed. The buyer will then need to visit the bank with the seller for the loan payment. The safest method to make this payment is via cash or manager's cheque. -
Search for a buyer who is willing to buy the car on finance
In this scenario, the buyer has to agree to use the same bank as the seller. Once the buyer agrees to this and approval for auto loan transfer has been received by the bank, the buyer needs to present a car valuation certificate against the loan amount. CarSwitch can organize this certificate for a cost starting from AED 300. Once this certificate is obtained, the seller can settle the owed amount with the bank. The buyer will need to provide the bank with the new registration card along with insurance papers to complete the transfer and close the loan.
Sounds complicated and want a safe and secure way to sell your car which is currently under loan?
Can I sell my car without paying off the loan?
Next, ask the buyer to meet you at the bank with the money, preferably in the form of cash or a certified manager’s cheque for the value of the car. At the bank, the buyer can hand over the relevant amount to the bank to clear the loan. The buyer can take the car home at this point. To complete the transfer of ownership, however, they will be required to go to the RTA once the bank electronically informs the RTA that the car is no longer under mortgage.
How to sell your car in UAE from abroad?
Get a power of attorney drafted by a professional so that it clearly and precisely conveys your situation. It is also important to appoint as your agent someone you trust or a professional firm that offers POA services. After your POA has been prepared, you will need to sign it in the presence of a notary or a solicitor, depending on the laws of the country you are signing it. In return, a notary or a solicitor will also sign the POA and state that the document was “witnessed by” him or her and the appropriate, usually embossed seal is placed.
The next step is to get it legalised by a foreign affairs department. This is important since you intend to use the POA in the UAE, i.e., outside of the country where you signed it. Legalization is a process whereby a government body (usually, a ministry of foreign affairs) confirms that the signature of a solicitor or notary on the POA is valid and should be recognized in the U.A.E. Once your POA is legalized by the ministry of foreign affairs or equivalent authority, then you can contact the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the country where you signed your POA or nearest country to get it attested. The second last step is to legalize your POA by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE. To complete this step, you do not necessarily have to be personally present in the UAE and anyone can do it on your behalf. Finally, you need to get the POA translated into Arabic by a certified legal translator, if the POA was done in a foreign language. It is important to note that the translator must be licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice.
Once the POA is legalized and in place, your agent can now represent you during the transfer process. As a seller, you need to clear any outstanding finance you have availed from a bank to sell your car. Once the loan is paid off, your bank informs the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) to update the records and clear the loan from the RTA system. The RTA will send a SMS text message to you when the records are updated. This usually takes 24-48 hours. Next, your vehicle can be transferred to a new owner only after it passes a vehicle test of the RTA. After checking the vehicle, the RTA issues a test certificate and stamps either “Passed” or “Failed”. If the result is “Failed”, the test certificate contains the list of problems that need to be fixed in the vehicle. To avoid possible last-minute surprises, it is best for you or your agent to evaluate your vehicle at one of the RTA vehicle test centres ahead of advertising. It is important to check and clear fines on your vehicle, as all fines must be cleared before you sell any car in Dubai.
Once the vehicle test is done successfully and all fines are cleared, the buyer can now proceed to get an insurance for the vehicle. If your existing insurance policy has 7 months or more remaining, the policy can be transferred, provided the new owner meets the required criteria of the insurance company. The final step is to transfer the ownership of the vehicle. You, as a seller, or your authorised agent with a valid POA for Vehicle Sale, should be present at the point of transfer with the valid identification document plus a valid test certificate.
After verifying the documents, the RTA representative asks the parties to sign a sale and purchase agreement and the buyer pays the purchase price to either you, or your authorised agent and the transfer fees to the RTA.
Can I authorise someone to sell my car in Dubai?
Get a power of attorney drafted by a professional so that it clearly and precisely conveys your situation. It is also important to appoint as your agent someone you trust or a professional firm that offer POA services. After your POA has been prepared, you will need to sign it in the presence of a notary or a solicitor, depending on the laws of the country you are signing it. In return, a notary or a solicitor will also sign the POA and state that the document was “witnessed by” him or her and the appropriate, usually embossed seal is placed.

The second last step is to legalize your POA by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE. To complete this step, you do not necessarily have to be personally present in the UAE and anyone can do it on your behalf. Finally, you need to get the POA translated into Arabic by a certified legal translator, if the POA was done in a foreign language. It is important to note that the translator must be licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice.
