It's renewal time for my car registration again. The steps are quite staright forward. If the car is less than three years old like mine, technical inspection is not required. Renewal may be done at the nearest Traffic Police Department in your area. The best time to go is always early in the morning.
Requirements for Renewal:
-Insurance
-Technical inspection certificate (for cars three years and older)
-Expired registration card (Istimara)
-QR 100 fee by NAPS or credit card
Steps:
1. Renew the insurance.
2. Bring the car to the technical inspection center. Read the step by step Procedure for Technical Inspection and the locations of inspection centers.
3. When the requirements are complete, go to the Traffic Police Department. Don't forget to get a number at the entrance.
4. When the number is called, processing takes less than 15-minutes if the requirements are complete.
5. Pay the QR 100 fee by NAPS or credit card. Cash are not accepted.
5. Make sure that you will be given a registration sticker for your car plates. I read from the newspapers in the past that cars without registration stickers will be penalized.
Delay in registration is sometimes experienced due to delay in technical inspection (i.e., when a problem is identified and repair is required). So be prepared and allocate ample time for technical inspection.
Hope this helps!

Just a question about the Traffic Police Department.... I know of the main one at Madinat Khalifa, and the small kiosk in City Centre... but is there anywhere else I can go to pay my car registration?
Many thanks :)
Yes, there's one in E-ring road near the Supreme Council for Education.
Many thanks Nina... just returned from there and it was, incredibly, entirely stress-free! No queues, a helpful staff member, found a place to park easily... brilliant!
I had a run-in with the guy at City Centre and so probably can't show my face there again!!
Hi Nina do you know if we can do car ownership transfer on the 24h E-ring office of the traffic dep,or only at the main branch in Madinat Khalifa,Do you know any phone number.
Many Thanks,
Ric
Hi Ric,
Yes, you can - that's where my husband went when he sold his car. But I'm not sure if the 24hour service includes processing of transfer of ownership. No, I don't have the number and it's better to go there and speak to them personally.
According to my husband, he did the following when he sold his car:
- He went to the police station. Some forms have to be completed and then, the police asked him to go to his insurance.
- After sorting the insurance - he went back to the police station and voila, it's done!
Hope this helps.
my car is April 2007 model, need inspection..???
yes, nishad!
Hello Nina,
Do you have any idea about the working hours for renewing car's registration?
Thanks
if your car needs inspection (3 years old and above), the inspection centers' schedule is found here: http://www.fahes.com/
if your car is less than 3 years old, you can go directly to the traffic dept. I'm not sure about their timing but they do open early...as early as 7 am or 630 am.
