These procedures
are related to registering a used car. If you have purchased a new vehicle, you
do not have to worry about registration, as the dealer will handle all the
formalities.
Criteria
For registration of
used car, buyer (must be resident of Dubai) & seller must be present. In
case, the seller is not present, a sale deed letter from an authorized showroom
or dealer is required. If the vehicle is from another emirate, the vehicle
registration should have been cancelled there. From August 2010, the
re-registration can be done from other emirates as well. See media update

tip: You
can also check online at the Dubai Police website for any outstanding fines, which the
seller should pay, before you register the car in your name.
