Step-by-Step Vehicle Registration Process
Here’s what you need to do to get your vehicle registered in Sharjah:
- Vehicle Inspection: Your first stop is the Vehicle Technical Inspection Centre (VTIC), where your vehicle’s roadworthiness will be checked. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition to pass the inspection, as this is a crucial step.
- Get Vehicle Insurance: Once your vehicle passes inspection, secure vehicle insurance. Third-party insurance is mandatory in the UAE, and your registration will not be processed without it.
- Submit Documents: Head to the Muroor Vehicle Registration Centre and submit the required documents, along with your insurance certificate and inspection report.
- Pay Registration Fee: The registration fee varies depending on the type and age of your vehicle. Once the payment is completed, you’ll receive your new vehicle number plate and registration card.
