Paying UAE Traffic Fines: Online App In Person
Pay UAE traffic fines online via official apps or in person at service centres. Learn 2026 steps, discount windows, accepted methods, and what happens if you delay.
Check fines first
Start by confirming any fines against your vehicle or licence. Log in with your Emirates ID or passport number on the RTA Dubai app, Dubai Police app, or Abu Dhabi Police app. The system shows the violation date, location, amount, and payment deadline in one list. You can also visit an Amer or ICP centre kiosk for the same details without an account.
Online payment options in 2026
Paying through the official apps remains the fastest route. RTA Dubai accepts debit and credit cards plus Apple Pay. Dubai Police and Abu Dhabi Police portals let you settle fines from any bank account linked to your mobile number. A 25 percent discount applies if you pay within 30 days of the violation date. After the discount window closes, the full amount is due and late fees may start.
In-person payment locations
If you prefer cash or need help, visit any RTA Customer Happiness Centre, Dubai Police stations, or authorised typing centres. Carry your Emirates ID, vehicle registration card, and the fine reference number. Staff can process the payment, issue a receipt, and clear the record immediately. Service charges range from 10 to 25 AED depending on the centre.
Accepted payment methods and timelines
Most centres accept cash, card, and bank transfer. Processing takes under five minutes online and about 15 minutes in person. Once paid, the fine status updates across all RTA and police systems within two hours. You can drive legally the same day, provided no other restrictions apply.
What happens if you delay
After 60 days without payment, RTA may block vehicle registration renewal and could add 50 AED per month in administrative fees. Police can also place a hold on your licence renewal. Settling early keeps your record clear and avoids extra costs that can double the original fine.
