For report bounced cheque Dubai, begin with the exact account, document or case reference involved. The linked authority’s live service remains the final source for eligibility, required evidence, timing and any calculated charge.

1. Get the bank evidence

Keep the original cheque record, return memo and account or transaction documents showing the dishonour.

2. Identify the parties and purpose

Record who issued and received the cheque, the amount, date and underlying obligation without altering the instrument.

3. Use the official police service

Dubai Police lists a bounced-cheque reporting service that may support settlement or referral to the competent authority.

4. Separate criminal and civil remedies

A police report does not automatically recover every contractual amount. Obtain qualified legal guidance for enforcement or compensation questions.

Use official channels only. Never share an OTP, password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval with an agent.
