How to Get a Traffic Status Certificate in Dubai
Request a Dubai Police traffic-status certificate showing recorded vehicle history, traffic points and accident information.
The short answer
Dubai Police’s traffic-status certificate summarises traffic history recorded for the vehicle, including relevant points and accidents. It is not the same as RTA’s technical-status or ownership certificate.
What to do
1. Ask which record is required
A buyer, insurer or authority may need police traffic history, RTA technical data or an accident report. Confirm before ordering.
2. Match the vehicle identifiers
Use the plate, traffic-file or vehicle details requested by the service and verify the emirate and ownership record.
3. Apply through Dubai Police
Select the traffic-status certificate in the official catalogue and complete the identity, vehicle and payment steps shown.
4. Review the certificate scope
Check the vehicle and issue date and understand whether the receiving party needs a separate accident report or clearance document.
Important: A clean traffic-status certificate is not a mechanical inspection and does not guarantee the vehicle’s condition.
