About this centre
The Fujairah Police Traffic and Licensing Department at Al Hail is the principal counter for every motoring transaction in Fujairah and the surrounding east-coast enclaves of Dibba, Khor Fakkan and Kalba. Services include new vehicle registration, annual registration renewal, ownership transfer between residents and across emirates, replacement of damaged or lost driving licences, conversion of foreign licences from eligible nationalities, learner permit issuance, settlement of traffic fines and black points, accident report requests, and the licensing of motorcycles, buses and heavy goods vehicles operating on the Hatta-Fujairah-Oman freight corridor. All transactions are issued under Ministry of Interior federal traffic rules and the licence cards carry the Fujairah Police logo.
Al Hail sits in the southern outskirts of Fujairah city, around 10 minutes from Fujairah International Airport and 5 minutes from Fujairah City Centre Mall. The compound is on Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Street and shares its boundary with the vehicle inspection lanes operated by Fujairah Roads Department. Drivers approaching from the Sheikh Khalifa Highway (E89) take exit 13 towards Al Hail and follow the brown government services signs to the compound. The site has free open-air parking with around 250 bays and a small cafeteria for waiting users. The women's section operates through a separate entrance at the rear.
Typical users include private motorists renewing one-year or two-year registrations, expatriates converting GCC, European and selected Asian licences, port and oil-terminal workers from Fujairah's strategic bunkering hub renewing heavy-vehicle permits, Omani residents commuting across the Wadi Madha and Khatmat Milaha borders with cross-emirate plates, and PROs handling fleet renewals for local quarrying and cement companies. The Fujairah Police app, launched in 2017 and refreshed in 2024, now handles most routine fine payments and renewals digitally, but new licences, biometric capture and ownership transfers remain counter-only.
A standard vehicle registration renewal with inspection takes 30-50 minutes; driving-licence renewals are usually completed within 20 minutes. Thursday afternoons fill quickly with weekend travellers needing inspection and registration clearance before driving to Oman through Wadi Madha or Khatmat Milaha.
Peak windows are 07:30-09:30 Monday-Wednesday as fleet PROs file batches from the quarrying, cement and port sectors, and 13:00-14:30 Thursday as east-coast residents clear paperwork before the Friday morning rush to Khor Fakkan beaches. Friday is a half-day (07:30-12:00) with the ticket dispenser stopping at 11:30 to clear the queue before Salat Al Jumu'ah at noon - notably Fujairah Police is one of the few northern emirate police-traffic centres that remains open Friday morning, mirroring the federal ICP timing; RAKEZ, RAK Courts and SEDD Sharjah are all fully closed Friday. Ramadan hours condense to 09:00-14:30 Monday-Thursday and 09:00-12:00 Friday. The first three working days after Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha run 50 per cent above normal. Summer (July-August) sees a notable spike from Omani returnees clearing Oman cross-border insurance endorsements before driving back.
When Al Hail is at capacity, the Dibba Al Fujairah police station at the northern tip of the emirate handles routine fine payments and licence renewals for north-coast residents (though not new vehicle registration), and the Kalba police station serves the southern enclave. Across emirate lines, RAK Police traffic services accept Fujairah-plated vehicles for inspection-only files. For pure-digital matters the Fujairah Police app, the MOI unified app at moi.gov.ae and the federal Saher traffic-management portal handle fine payment, registration renewal (where no inspection is due), driving-licence renewal where biometrics remain valid, and good-conduct certificate requests in under 10 minutes. UAE PASS unlocks the full digital catalogue. For Salik gates on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road if you transit Dubai en route to Fujairah, the Salik portal handles top-ups separately from the Fujairah Police fine system.

Common mistakes to avoid
Wathim sees these failures repeatedly at Fujairah Police Services centres. Catching them before you turn up saves a return trip.
- !Arriving without an insurance certificate valid for at least 13 months - the counter rejects 12-month policies for renewal
- !Bringing a foreign licence that has expired - only currently valid licences from eligible countries can be converted
- !Assuming the eye test is conducted on-site - it is not; visit an approved optician beforehand
- !Not clearing Salik or Darb toll dues from other emirates before transferring ownership
- !Forgetting the cross-border Oman insurance endorsement when planning a Musandam trip
- !Confusing the Al Hail traffic department with the smaller Dibba police station, which only handles routine fines and licence renewals
- !Assuming Fujairah Police is closed Friday like RAK or Sharjah Police - in fact Al Hail is open Friday 07:30-12:00 in line with federal ICP timing
- !Showing up Friday after 11:30 - the ticket dispenser stops 30 minutes before close to clear the queue for Salat Al Jumu'ah
- !Underestimating Oman insurance endorsement delays during Ramadan - allow one extra working day
- !Bringing a tinted-window vehicle without the 30 per cent compliance certificate - automatic inspection failure
Frequently asked questions
Yes - Fujairah Police Al Hail operates Friday from 07:30 to 12:00, a half-day morning session, which makes it one of the few northern-emirate police-traffic centres to remain open on Friday. This contrasts with RAKEZ, RAK Courts and SEDD Sharjah branches, which are all closed Friday, and with Sharjah Police traffic counters which run a half-day Friday but close fully on Saturday and Sunday. The Al Hail Friday session covers routine driving-licence renewals, vehicle-registration renewals (with inspection), traffic-fine payment, accident report requests, good-conduct certificate issuance, and Oman cross-border insurance endorsement - the full mainstream catalogue. New first-time driving-licence files requiring road-test scheduling are typically deferred to Monday because the approved Fujairah driving institutes do not operate Friday road tests. The ticket dispenser stops at 11:30 to allow staff to clear the queue before Salat Al Jumu'ah and the official 12:00 close. Saturday and Sunday remain fully closed. Plan around the Friday window if your work week is otherwise full.
No appointment is required for routine transactions. The counter operates on a first-come, first-served basis using a queue ticket dispenser. For complex matters such as black-points appeals, accident report disputes or special-plate auctions, it is sensible to call 09 222 2666 in advance so the relevant officer is available. The Fujairah Police app and Ministry of Interior unified portal at moi.gov.ae also support most services without any need to attend in person, including fine payments, registration renewal and good-conduct certificate requests. UAE PASS authentication unlocks the digital catalogue.
Ramadan hours shift to 09:00-14:30 from Monday to Thursday and 09:00-12:00 on Friday, with the centre closed Saturday and Sunday. The vehicle inspection lanes follow the same schedule. Fujairah Police announces deviations through its official X account and the public information desk at the entrance. Plan to arrive before 12:30 because the final ticket dispenser typically stops 45 minutes before counter closing to allow staff to clear the queue before Iftar. Cross-border services to Musandam are still processed during Ramadan but the Oman insurance endorsement may take an extra working day.
Yes. Inter-emirate renewal is permitted under federal traffic law provided the vehicle passes a fresh inspection at the Al Hail lanes and the insurance certificate names Fujairah as a covered emirate. However, transferring the registration plate from Dubai to Fujairah requires the original Dubai mulkiya to be surrendered through RTA Dubai first. Renewal without transfer takes about 40 minutes; transfer adds AED 350 in fees and an additional half-day for processing. East-coast residents with Dubai-registered cars often prefer Al Hail because of shorter queues compared with Tasjeel branches.
The all-inclusive fee is AED 600 for nationals of approximately 40 eligible countries including the GCC states, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and most EU member states. This covers eye test verification, the knowledge and innovation fees, and a ten-year licence card. Applicants from non-eligible countries must instead complete a full theory and road test at a Fujairah-approved driving institute, which costs AED 6,500-9,000 in total because road-test demand on the east coast is lower and instruction is sometimes routed through Sharjah. The original foreign licence and a certified translation are mandatory.
Both channels are accepted. The counter accepts card payments (debit, credit, Apple Pay) and Emirates ID-linked wallet balances; cash is no longer accepted for any traffic transaction since 2023. Online payment through fujairahpolice.gov.ae, the Fujairah Police app, or moi.gov.ae offers the same fines list and is faster. Discounts of 25-50 per cent are sometimes announced by Fujairah Police during national holidays, the Year of the Family campaigns, and Ramadan; these are auto-applied at both channels and visible in the digital wallet view.
Black points are visible on the Ministry of Interior unified driver file accessible through moi.gov.ae. Points accrued through traffic offences automatically lapse one year after the offence date provided no further offences are committed. Counter staff can print a current black-points statement on request. Drivers exceeding 24 active points face automatic licence suspension; reinstatement requires a Fujairah Traffic Court appearance, payment of all fines, and in some cases attendance at a defensive-driving course at a Fujairah or Sharjah-approved institute. Repeat offenders may also face vehicle impound.
Yes. Fujairah Police Al Hail offers a same-day endorsement service for residents driving into Musandam through Wadi Madha or Khatmat Milaha border posts. Bring the existing UAE insurance certificate and the AED 50 endorsement fee; the counter stamps an Oman annexe valid for the same period as the UAE policy. Some insurers issue the Oman endorsement directly through their apps, in which case no police visit is needed. The endorsement is mandatory under Omani RoP rules and absence will trigger an OMR 50 fine at the border on entry. During Ramadan, allow one extra working day for processing.
Bring your Emirates ID, the original mulkiya, the front and rear number plates, and a no-objection letter from any financing bank. The export counter cancels the registration, issues an Arabic-English export certificate valid for 90 days, and returns the deregistered plates. The fee is AED 120. The certificate is recognised by Saudi, Omani and Kuwaiti customs and is needed for re-registration abroad. Insurance must remain valid until the vehicle physically leaves UAE territory. For vehicles destined for Africa via Sohar port, the certificate is also accepted by Omani exporters and shipping lines.
Inspection lanes operated by Fujairah Roads Department are inside the same compound on the eastern side and operate during the same hours. There is no need to visit Tasjeel or Wasel separately for a Fujairah-registered car. The inspection costs AED 50 and takes about 15 minutes during off-peak windows; brake-and-light tests add 10 minutes. Vehicles older than three years require an inspection at every annual renewal; the first three renewals after purchase are exempt provided the car remains under warranty and accident-free.
Yes. Fujairah Police Al Hail issues good-conduct certificates for current and former Fujairah residents through a dedicated certificate counter. The fee is AED 200 and the digital certificate is delivered to the applicant's email within 24 hours; an attested hard copy adds AED 50. Applicants need original Emirates ID, fingerprint capture if not already on the federal database, and a stated purpose (employment abroad, immigration, family reunion). The certificate is valid for three months from issuance and is accepted by most embassies in Abu Dhabi.
For routine fine payments and licence renewals (no first-issue files), the Dibba Al Fujairah police station at the northern tip serves north-coast residents and the Kalba police station handles the southern enclave. The Khor Fakkan police community station accepts good-conduct certificate requests. New vehicle registration, biometric capture, ownership transfer and impound release remain Al Hail-only. For pure-digital matters use the Fujairah Police app, the MOI unified app at moi.gov.ae and the federal Saher traffic-management portal authenticated via UAE PASS - fine payment, registration renewal where no inspection is due, and driving-licence renewal where biometrics remain valid all complete in under 10 minutes with no visit.
Fujairah Police announces discounts of 25-50 per cent on traffic fines on the same federal-Cabinet-aligned dates as RTA Dubai, RAK Police, Sharjah Police and Abu Dhabi Police - typically UAE National Day (December), Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha and the Year of the Family campaigns. Discounts apply only to fines issued before the campaign date and are auto-applied at all payment channels. Black points cannot be discounted and lapse only on time (one year per offence). Fujairah specifically also runs a Khor Fakkan Tourism Season discount in winter for tourism-related minor offences such as parking near beaches.
Yes. Heavy goods vehicles operating on the Hatta-Fujairah-Oman freight corridor renew their annual licence at Al Hail for AED 750 plus AED 150 mandatory load-and-brake inspection. Vehicles crossing the Wadi Madha or Khatmat Milaha borders also need the Oman cross-border insurance endorsement (AED 50) and a freight manifest cleared by Fujairah Customs. The Al Hail counter co-ordinates directly with the Omani RoP border posts for vehicles registered in Fujairah; vehicles registered in Dubai or Sharjah need to use their home traffic department instead. Quarrying and cement-haulier fleets typically file batch renewals through PROs during the off-peak 11:00-13:00 window.
