Pay all traffic fines Requerido por ley
Unpaid traffic fines must be settled before ownership can change – in Dubai this includes fines issued in other emirates. If the registration has expired, the non-renewal fine must also be paid.

Start the transfer and sign the sale agreement Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador
In Dubai the seller starts 'Change Ownership' on the RTA website/app (UAE Pass) or at a Customer Happiness Centre, enters the buyer's details, and both sign the online Sale and Purchase Agreement, which is valid for 14 days. In Abu Dhabi the request is made on TAMM and the buyer confirms with an OTP. Other emirates use the Ministry of Interior system.

Hand over the plates and let the buyer register Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador
In Dubai the seller hands over the plates at a centre or by delivery within 14 days of paying the fees; ownership passes to the buyer once the plates are submitted, and the buyer completes registration at a service centre.

Mantente seguro cuando los compradores se pongan en contacto contigo
- Until ownership has actually moved, fines and liabilities stay on the registered owner – in Dubai ownership passes only when the plates are handed over, so complete the transfer the same day you hand over the car.
- Do not change anything in the signed Dubai Sale and Purchase Agreement: any change after signing voids the transaction.
