Do You Need Proof Of Selling Car in UAE

Buy / Sell Your Car

Here is the full process 

  1. Prepare the Necessary Documents:

    • Original Registration Card (Mulkiya): Proof of ownership.
    • Valid Emirates ID: For both the seller and buyer.
    • Passport Copy with Residence Visa: May be required in some cases.
    • Mortgage Release Letter: If the car was financed, you need a clearance letter from the bank confirming that the loan has been fully repaid.
    • Vehicle Inspection Report: Required in some emirates; the car may need to pass an inspection before the sale.
    • Clear Outstanding Fines: Make sure all traffic fines are paid.
  2. Agree on Terms with the Buyer:

    • Negotiate the sale price and any conditions such as payment method and date of transfer.
    • The buyer will typically request a test drive and might ask for a pre-purchase inspection.
  3. Vehicle Inspection and Passing Certificate:

    • Take the car for a technical inspection at an RTA-approved testing center. The car must pass this inspection before the ownership transfer.
  4. Transfer of Ownership:

    • Both parties must visit the RTA or the transport authority office in the respective emirate.
    • Submit all required documents: the Mulkiya, Emirates IDs, and any other necessary paperwork.
    • Pay the transfer fee which can vary by emirate.
    • The buyer will receive a new Mulkiya in their name and the seller will get a copy of the transfer form as proof of sale.
  5. Cancel Insurance:

    • After the sale cancel your car insurance policy and request a refund for the unused portion if applicable.
  6. Hand Over the Vehicle:

    • Once the ownership transfer is complete and the buyer has received the new registration card, hand over the car keys, service records, and any other related documents to the buyer.
  7. Keep Proof of Sale:

    • Retain a copy of the transfer form or sale agreement for your records. This serves as proof that you no longer own the vehicle.
