Step by step

How to check your fine — 4 steps

Checking takes about two minutes on any official channel. Follow these four steps:

1

Keep your details ready

Have one of these handy: plate number, driving licence number, traffic file number (TCN) or the fine number from an SMS or notice.

2

Open an official channel

Use Dubai Police, RTA, MOI UAE or Emirates Vehicle Gate (below). Only use official government websites and apps.

3

Enter details & view fines

Choose “Fines Inquiry”, enter your details on the official portal only, and note the fine amount, date and black points.

4

Pay early & save

Pay within 60 days for the 35% discount where it applies. Keep the payment receipt for your records.

Dubai Police — website & app

Use the “Fines Inquiry and Payment” service on the Dubai Police website or the Dubai Police app. Best for fines recorded in Dubai.

dubaipolice.gov.ae ↗

RTA — portal & Dubai Drive app

The RTA traffic portal and the Dubai Drive app show Dubai fines and let you pay by plate, licence or traffic file number.

traffic.rta.ae ↗

MOI UAE app & UAE Pass

The Ministry of Interior (MOI UAE) app covers fines across all emirates. Sign in securely with UAE Pass — no separate password needed.

moi.gov.ae ↗

Emirates Vehicle Gate (EVG) & SMS

EVG shows federal vehicle fines for all emirates. In Dubai you can also query by SMS — send your query to 7275 as instructed by Dubai Police.

evg.ae ↗

What you need — one of these is enough

  • Plate number (with plate category and code)
  • Driving licence number
  • Traffic file number (TCN) — printed on your vehicle registration (Mulkiya)
  • Fine number — from the SMS notification or paper notice

Enter these only on the official portals above — never on a guide site like this one, and never in a WhatsApp chat.

Verified amounts

UAE traffic fines table

Every amount below is from the UAE official fines schedule (Ministerial Resolution No. 178 of 2017, published on u.ae), under the current Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2024, in force since 29 March 2025. Nothing here is estimated or invented.

No violation matches your search. Try “speeding”, “red light” or clear the filter.

Speeding fine calculator

Move the slider to how far over the speed limit you were driving. The result comes straight from the official speeding scale above.

Good to know: many Dubai roads have a 20 km/h tolerance buffer — cameras on those roads typically trigger only above the posted limit plus the buffer. The buffer is not a right, varies by road and emirate, and the fine is calculated on your actual recorded speed.

Not sure which band you are in?

The official speeding scale, at a glance:

Up to 20 over → AED 300
21–30 over → AED 600 · 31–40 over → AED 700
41–50 over → AED 1,000
51–60 over → AED 1,500 + 6 points + 15-day impound
61–80 over → AED 2,000 + 12 points + 30-day impound
Over 80 → AED 3,000 + 23 points + 60-day impound

Black points

Black points — how they work

Serious violations add black points to your driving licence, on top of the money fine. Points are the part most drivers forget — until the licence is suspended.

24Points within 12 months = your licence is suspended
12 monthsEach point expires 12 months after the date of its offence
23Points from a single offence (e.g. speeding 80+ over, reckless driving) — one more point suspends you

Black-points tracker

Add your violations below to see your total. This runs only in your browser on this page — nothing is saved or sent anywhere. For your official total, check Dubai Police, RTA or MOI UAE.

0 of 24 points24 points left before suspension
⚠ At 24 points your licence is suspended. Do not drive on a suspended licence — check your official record on Dubai Police / MOI UAE and clear fines before any licence or visa process.

    Save money

    Fine discounts — pay early, pay less

    Dubai’s fine settlement discount rewards early payment. The discount is applied on the official portal at payment — you do not need any agent or middleman.

    35% offPay within 60 days of the violation date
    ~25% offPay after 60 days, up to 1 year from the violation
    No discountAfter 1 year, the full fine amount is payable

    Serious offences are excluded from the discount — including reckless/dangerous driving, jumping a red light and driving under the influence (DUI). Seasonal campaigns (Ramadan, Eid, National Day) offering up to 50% are announced only through official government channels.

    Discount calculator

    Enter a fine amount and how many days have passed since the violation to estimate what you would pay.

    Estimate only — the official portal shows the exact payable amount, and excluded serious offences get no discount.

    Example

    A AED 1,000 fine paid on day 30:

    Discount: 35% = AED 350 saved
    You pay: AED 650
    Wait past 60 days and the same fine costs about AED 750 — waiting costs you AED 100.

    Last verified November 2026 — check the official portal for your exact fine and discount.

    Scam warning: Anyone on WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram offering you a “50% fine discount” or asking you to pay them directly is running a scam. Discounts exist only inside the official Dubai Police, RTA and MOI portals and apps. Never pay a stranger, and never share your plate, licence or Emirates ID details in a chat.
    Payment

    How to pay — step by step

    Payment happens only on the official portals. Both routes below take a few minutes with a bank card.

    Pay via Dubai Police

    1. Open dubaipolice.gov.ae or the Dubai Police app.
    2. Choose Fines Inquiry and Payment.
    3. Search by plate, licence, traffic file (TCN) or fine number.
    4. Check the fine, points and the discounted amount shown.
    5. Pay by card and save the receipt.

    Pay via RTA

    1. Open traffic.rta.ae or the Dubai Drive app.
    2. Open the fine inquiry service and enter your details.
    3. Select the fines you want to settle.
    4. Confirm the amount — any eligible discount is applied on screen.
    5. Pay by card and keep the confirmation.

    Big fine? Ask about instalments

    Large fines can hurt. Instalment plans have been offered for big individual fines — generally for totals of AED 5,000 or more for individuals — through the official payment channels and participating banks. Check the option shown on the official portal at checkout, or ask at a Dubai Police / RTA service centre. Terms are set by the official channel, not by any agent.

    Got a fine you believe is wrong? Dispute it

    Fines can be contested through the official channel that issued them — the dispute/objection service on the Dubai Police or RTA portal, or in person at a service centre. Keep evidence (dashcam clip, parking receipt, proof you were elsewhere), note the fine number, and file the objection promptly. Do not pay a disputed fine through any unofficial “fixer” — only the official review can cancel it.

    What happens if you don’t pay?

    Unpaid fines stay on your traffic file. They can block vehicle registration (Mulkiya) renewal and licence services until cleared — and reports say unpaid fines can also block visa renewal or transfer, so clear your fines well before any renewal. Vehicle impound and black points still apply on top of the money owed.

    Roman Urdu

    Asaan zubaan mein — poora process

    Agar English mushkil lagti hai, to ye 6 asaan points parh lein — fine check karna, samajhna aur pay karna sab clear ho jaye ga.

    1

    Fine check karna: Dubai Police ki website (dubaipolice.gov.ae), RTA ki website (traffic.rta.ae) ya MOI UAE app kholein. Plate number, licence number ya traffic file number (TCN) daalein — aap ke saare fines screen par aa jayein ge.

    2

    Ye website fine check nahi karti: Hum sirf rasta batate hain. Apna plate ya licence number sirf sarkari (official) website par daalein — kisi ajnabi, WhatsApp number ya Facebook page par kabhi na dein.

    3

    Fine ki raqam: Speeding ka fine AED 300 se shuru hota hai. Red light AED 1,000, mobile use AED 800, aur tez raftari zyada ho to fine AED 3,000 tak ja sakta hai. Poori list upar wali table mein hai.

    4

    Black points: Bade jurmon par licence par black points lagte hain. 12 mahine mein 24 points ho jayein to licence band (suspend) ho jata hai. Apne points ka hisaab upar wale tracker se kar lein.

    5

    Discount ka faida: Fine 60 din ke andar pay karein to 35% discount milta hai. Der karne se discount kam ho jata hai, aur 1 saal baad koi discount nahi milta. Jaldi pay karna sab se sasta hai.

    6

    Fraud se bachein: Jo banda WhatsApp par “50% discount” ka waada kare, wo fraud hai. Discount sirf official website/app par milta hai. Payment hamesha khud official portal par karein, kisi ko cash ya transfer na karein.

    Common questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Quick answers to what UAE drivers ask most about fines.

    Can this website check my fine for me?

    No — and no guide website can. Only official government portals hold your fine record. This site explains the process and links you to Dubai Police, RTA, MOI UAE and EVG, where you enter your details safely yourself. Never type your plate or licence number into a non-government site.

    How do I check a Dubai fine with just my plate number?

    Open dubaipolice.gov.ae or traffic.rta.ae, choose Fines Inquiry, select “plate number”, and enter the plate code, category and number. Your outstanding Dubai fines, amounts and black points will be listed.

    How much is the fine for using a mobile phone while driving?

    AED 800 with 4 black points, per the official schedule in the table above.

    When do black points expire?

    Each black point expires 12 months after the date of the offence it came from. If you reach 24 points inside any 12-month period, your licence is suspended.

    How does the 35% discount work?

    Pay within 60 days of the violation and the official portal applies a 35% reduction to eligible fines. After 60 days the discount is about 25% until one year; after one year there is no discount. Serious offences such as reckless driving, red-light jumping and DUI are excluded.

    Someone on WhatsApp offered me a 50% discount. Is it real?

    No. That is a well-known scam. Discounts are only ever applied inside official Dubai Police, RTA or MOI portals and apps, or announced through official government channels during seasonal campaigns. Never pay a person directly.

    Can I pay a large fine in instalments?

    Instalment options have been offered for large fines — generally totals of AED 5,000 or more for individuals — through official payment channels and participating banks. Check what the official portal offers you at checkout or ask at a service centre.

    What if I never pay a fine?

    The fine stays on your traffic file. It can block vehicle registration and licence services, and reports say unpaid fines can block visa renewal or transfer. Impound and black points still apply. It is always cheaper to pay early — ideally within the 60-day discount window.

    Scam-safety checklist — before you pay anyone

    • Check and pay only on official domains: dubaipolice.gov.ae, rta.ae, moi.gov.ae, evg.ae.
    • Look-alike websites with extra words or hyphens in the name are fake — type the address yourself.
    • No official body asks for fine payment on WhatsApp, by gift card, or to a personal bank account.
    • Never share your Emirates ID, licence or plate details in a social-media chat.
    • “Discount agents” cannot reduce your fine — only the official portal can.
