How to Get an RTA Vehicle Insurance Refund Certificate
Request the RTA certificate an insurer may need after a Dubai vehicle is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
What the official route means
An RTA insurance refund certificate records the vehicle transaction needed when asking an insurer about an unused premium after ownership is transferred or the vehicle is disposed of. RTA issues the certificate; the insurer separately decides the refund under the policy terms.
What to do next
1. Complete the vehicle transaction first
Make sure the sale, transfer, export or other disposal is recorded in the RTA system. A private agreement alone may not update ownership.
2. Check the policy terms
Ask the insurer what certificate, cancellation form, bank details and original policy documents it needs, and whether administrative deductions apply.
3. Request the RTA certificate
Sign in through the official RTA service and select Insurance Refund from the vehicle licensing certificate types. Verify the vehicle and transaction.
4. Submit to the insurer
Send the verifiable certificate and requested policy records. Keep both the RTA transaction and insurer claim references.
Important: The RTA certificate does not guarantee a refund amount. Insurance cancellation, claims history and policy wording can affect eligibility.
Before you act
RTA describes this certificate for a vehicle whose ownership has been transferred or disposed of. Use the correct personal or corporate service according to the registered owner.
