How to check and pay Dubai traffic and parking fines

Check your traffic file in the RTA or Dubai Police app, including rental cars and parking you forgot, pay everything online and screenshot the zero balance. Fines stay with your traffic file and can block a car transfer.

How to do it

  1. Check fines in the RTA Dubai app, the Dubai Police app or RTA’s Fines Enquiry and Payment page. Search by traffic file number so fines on every car, and fines from other emirates, show.
  2. Pay them online.
  3. If you have a Salik account, clear any negative balance too. Top up only what you will use, and ask Salik (800 72545) what happens to any balance left.
  4. Screenshot the zero balance for your exit folder.
