You can check the status of your traffic file and see if you have any fines- you can also pay online too. It sometimes takes a few days for your fines to appear on the system so if you have been issued a ticket for bad parking for example- check the site over a few days to wait for it to show up before you can pay it online.

You may log into the Dubai Police website http://ift.tt/1qpdfZH and register for free notification SMSs and/or e-mails. You will need to provide your vehicle information (plate number, category and code) as well your driver information (traffic file number, name, mobile number and e-mail).You have to clear your traffic fines in full before you can re-register any of your cars. It really is best to not save your fines all up till registration time- pay them off as you get them so you don’t get hit with a massive bill.

Following a new decree issued by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, aimed at ensuring traffic safety, reducing traffic accidents and preserving lives and properties, drivers that fall into the following categories will face having their car impounded by Dubai Police:

A vehicle will be seized if used in road races
Riding quadbikes on paved roads without a prior permit from Dubai Police
Vehicles with speed boosters and other illegal modifications causing disturbance to others
Expired registration for more than three months without any valid excuse
Reckless driving or trying to dodge the police

Dubai Police are also authorised to auction off impounded cars if the owner doesn’t make the necessary arrangements to release the car within three months of the vehicle’s seizure.
