For instance, you can go to Tasjeel, Shamil, Mumayaz, to name a few centres. The used car intended to be sold will be inspected at the centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the vehicle inspection is done, and there are no outstanding dues on the car, RTA will transfer the ownership of the used car to the new buyer. Subsequently, the registration process begins. After the buyer pays the necessary fee, they will receive vehicle expiry stickers, licence of the car, new vehicle number plates and a new registration card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have time to sell your used car, you can use the RTA Personal Appearance Service. Just go to your nearest RTA service centre once and give them complete personal information for registration.

For a buyer, an original EID is needed for registration and export inside the country. As for exporting outside of the country, a passport copy and\/or EID copy is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-a-used-car-in-dubai-need-to-pass-the-inspection-test-before-being-sold\">Does a used car in Dubai need to pass the inspection test before being sold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, this is mandatory by the RTA. Without passing the vehicle technical inspection report, your car is not deemed fit for driving and hence cannot be sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-car-registration-fee-for-a-used-car-in-dubai\"><strong>What is the car registration fee for a used car in Dubai?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The car registration fee for a used car in Dubai is AED 420.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-necessary-to-have-an-insurance-during-the-transfer-process\">Is it necessary to have an insurance during the transfer process?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For registration and\/or exporting with plates, insurance is necessary.

For export and Heyaza only the seller has to be present. Whereas, if POA is signed for the buyer or the seller, only the POA will be required to be present from that side. For new used-car owners, it is necessary to obtain a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/transfer-vehicle-ownership-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vehicle ownership transfer certificate in Dubai<\/a> before they drive their car in the Emiate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-heyaza\">What is Heyaza?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heyaza is an Islamic Finance term.

When is it needed and what is the process?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>POA is a short version of \u201cPower of Attorney\u201d. If the seller is leaving the country or they won\u2019t be able to be present during the transfer process, POA is required to transfer the car without the seller&#8217;s presence at that moment. POA can be dubizzle or any person that can be present for the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is all about registering a used car in Dubai. Your car registration also needs renewal.
