Questions
Where are the numbers from?
From official pages: the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ID and visas), Dubai's RTA (driving licence and registration), and the u.ae portal. Each number has its link. Numbers we couldn't find on an official page are not written; we tell you to check with the authority.
Is there a grace period for residence visas?
Yes, by category: 180 days for Golden, Green and Blue residents and their families, widows, divorcees and graduating students; 90 days for skilled workers (levels 1–3) and property owners; 60 days for sponsor/host-linked residencies; 30 days for everyone else. Then AED 50 per day.
My ID expired months ago — do I pay a thousand?
The fine is AED 20 per day after the 30-day grace period, capped at AED 1,000 however long it goes. It is paid with the renewal application.
Car registration: how much per month?
The RTA gives a 30-day grace period, blocks the traffic file if you don't renew within two months, and says the fine depends on the vehicle category and the delay without publishing a single figure — so we don't invent one. Renew before two months to avoid the block.
