Transport & records · Reviewed 7 October 2026

The short answer

A Dubai traffic fines clearance certificate is an official Dubai Police record used to confirm clearance from the traffic events specified by the service. It is more formal than a screenshot of a fines search.

What to do

1. Clear unresolved traffic records

Check outstanding fines, points or accident-related requirements for the relevant driver, file or vehicle before applying.

2. Confirm the recipient’s wording

Ask whether the recipient needs a driver, vehicle or traffic-file clearance and what date range it expects.

3. Request the official certificate

Use Dubai Police’s permits and certificates section and enter the identifiers requested by the current form.

4. Validate the final document

Check the name, file or vehicle details and issue date; provide the complete certificate rather than a cropped image.

Important: A recently paid fine may need time to update across records; do not submit duplicate payments to force a change.
