To get Wakala (agency authorization) for Toyota in the UAE you need to visit an authorized Toyota dealership, like Al-Futtaim Toyota. Bring your Emirates ID and any required documents (e.g., car purchase agreement, ID copies) for processing.
Step 1: Prepare Your Documentation
Before visiting a dealership collect all necessary documents. Typically, you’ll need:
- Emirates ID (original and a copy).
- Passport with visa page copy.
- Proof of vehicle ownership, such as a sales agreement or registration card (Mulkiya).
- Driver’s license (if applicable).
- Additional documents might be requested depending on the dealership, so it’s wise to call and confirm in advance.
Step 2: Visit an Authorized Toyota Dealership
Al-Futtaim Toyota is the only distributor of Toyota vehicles so you need to go to one of their authorized branches. You can find branch locations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and other Emirates. A quick online search or a call to their customer service can provide you with the nearest branch.
Step 3: Meet with Customer Service
Approach the customer service desk in the dealership and inform them that you need to obtain a Wakala authorization. This is a common request, and they should be able to direct you to the relevant department or an officer responsible for processing Wakala documentation.
Step 4: Fill Out the Application Form
The customer service representative will provide an application form for Wakala. Fill in the details as requested with personal information, vehicle details, and any other relevant information. Be accurate, as any mistakes could delay the process.
Step 5: Submit Your Documents
After completing the form now submit it along with the prepared documents to the customer service representative or authorized personnel handling Wakala applications. They will review your documents to check everything is in order. If there are any issues, they will notify you to address them before proceeding.
Step 6: Pay the Required Fees
There may be an administrative fee for processing the Wakala authorization. The dealership representative will inform you of the exact amount, and you can pay it directly at the branch via cash or card. Be sure to keep a receipt of payment for your records.
Step 7: Wait for Processing
Once the application and payment are submitted then the dealership will start processing the Wakala authorization. Processing times can vary, usually taking a few days, though some branches may offer expedited services for an additional fee. The customer service team will provide an estimated timeframe.
Step 8: Collect Your Wakala Authorization
After processing is complete the dealership will notify you that your Wakala authorization is ready for collection. You need to go back to the branch to pick it up. Bring your ID and any proof of payment as verification when collecting the Wakala.
Step 9: Keep a Copy for Future Use
Once you have the Wakala authorization then make copies and store the original in a safe place. The Wakala is necessary for official dealings regarding your vehicle, including maintenance services, legal matters, or transfer of ownership.
