How to Get a Loss Certificate from Dubai Police
Request an official Dubai Police loss certificate for missing documents, certificates, a number plate, money or another supported item.
The short answer
A Dubai Police loss certificate is formal evidence of a reported loss for supported documents, certificates, vehicle plates, money or other listed items. It is different from searching the lost-and-found inventory.
What to do
1. Describe exactly what is missing
Record the document or item type, identifying number, owner, last known place and date. Do not guess serial numbers.
2. Choose the loss-certificate service
Use Dubai Police digital services or a listed Smart Police Station channel and select the correct loss category.
3. Upload ownership or identity proof
Provide the applicant identity and any copy, receipt or record that connects the missing item to the owner.
4. Use the certificate for replacement
Give the issued certificate to the authority, bank, insurer or other organisation handling the next transaction.
Important: Report theft or immediate misuse through the appropriate police channel; a routine loss certificate is not a substitute for an urgent crime report.
