Tasjeel Warsan

The branch operates from 07:00 to 22:00 seven days a week. Friday morning closes at 11:30 for Friday prayers and reopens at 13:30. The inspection lanes accept the last ticket 30 minutes before the cashier closes. During Ramadan the schedule shifts to 09:00 to 16:00 and an evening shift of 21:00 to 02:00. Holidays usually follow Friday hours on day one, then revert to standard.

A standard Dubai-plated light-vehicle Mulkiya renewal costs AED 450 inclusive of RTA renewal fee, knowledge and innovation fees, plate printing and the Mulkiya card. The inspection adds AED 170. Motor insurance is mandatory and ranges from AED 900 to AED 3,500 depending on vehicle value, driver age and claims history. The on-site brokers usually beat aggregator prices for last-minute walk-ins.

Yes. Both the buyer and seller must attend with original Emirates IDs, the existing Mulkiya, a signed sale agreement, and a fresh 13-month motor insurance policy in the buyer's name. The fee is AED 350. If the car is under bank finance, the seller must first settle the loan and obtain a possession reservation lift, otherwise the RTA system blocks the transfer at the cashier stage. Power of attorney is accepted only with Notary Public attestation.

Failed vehicles receive a printed report listing the failed items, typically brakes, suspension, headlights, tint or emissions. You have 30 days to rectify and return for a free re-test at Warsan. If you go to a different Tasjeel branch you pay the test fee again. After 30 days the original test result expires and a full AED 170 retest is required. The nearest workshop area on Al Awir Road can usually fix routine failures within two hours.

Yes. The export desk issues a de-registration certificate and red export plates valid for three days of road travel. You need a clean traffic file, no outstanding fines, no bank mortgage, a recent inspection report less than 30 days old, and the buyer's identification if exporting on behalf of a foreign purchaser. The combined export package is around AED 145. The Salik tag is automatically de-activated when the file is closed.

Yes, with the standard requirement that the financing bank issues a stamped no-objection letter dated within 30 days. Most UAE banks now issue digital NOC PDFs that Tasjeel verifies in real time against the bank portal. For export or final clearance, the loan must be fully settled and the possession reservation lifted on the RTA system before the export plates are issued.

Yes. Warsan operates two heavy-vehicle test bays for trucks, buses and trailers up to 7.5 tonnes. Heavier articulated rigs above this threshold are referred to Al Aweer where the higher-capacity bays are located. The heavy vehicle inspection fee is AED 320 and the test includes brake balance, axle weight, tyre condition and load restraint anchorage.

Yes. The Salik counter sells starter packs at AED 100 with AED 50 of credit included, handles top-ups in cash and by card, and processes replacements for damaged or lost tags. The same desk can also resolve incorrect toll charges, including conflicts between Salik and the Abu Dhabi Darb system for vehicles enrolled in both networks.

Both are operated by ENOC under the same RTA licence and offer identical statutory services. Warsan is faster for routine renewal, ownership transfer and inspection because the dealer queues that dominate Aweer go through the customs yard rather than Warsan. Aweer is the better choice for imported vehicles, structural rebuilds and heavy commercial fleet because of its larger test bay capacity and direct customs adjacency.

Walk-in Mulkiya renewal at Tasjeel Warsan is the default flow. Drive into the customer entrance off Al Awir Road, take a ticket at the customer hall, then enter the inspection lane when called. After the test, proceed to the cashier with the printed report; the counter verifies Emirates ID, insurance (13 months minimum), Salik balance and traffic fines. The new Mulkiya prints within ten minutes. Off-peak the full visit takes 35-45 minutes; during the 18:00-20:00 evening peak allow 70 minutes. Vehicles under three years old skip the inspection entirely and renew on the RTA Dubai app or Dubai Now in minutes - the right channel for most straightforward renewals.

Inspection-lane wait times at Warsan are predictable. The quietest window is 07:00 to 08:30 with 8-12 minutes average wait. Mid-morning settles to 25-35 minutes once warehouse fleet vehicles clear. Early afternoon drops to 20 minutes. The peak is 18:00 to 20:00 at 45-70 minutes. Thursday evening and Saturday morning are 20-30 minutes longer than mid-week equivalents because of Dragon Mart traffic and end-of-week renewals. Heavy-vehicle lanes operate on a separate queue and rarely back up because they share the bays with Al Aweer. Re-tests after a same-branch failure are slotted within an hour of arrival.

The AED 350 ownership transfer fee at Warsan covers the standard RTA private-to-private flow: new Mulkiya in the buyer's name, plate assignment, seller file cancellation and insurance/Salik linkage update to the new owner. The annual inspection (AED 170) is charged separately only if the existing test is older than 30 days. A fresh 13-month insurance policy in the buyer's name is mandatory but billed by the insurer (AED 900-3,500). Company-involved transfers cost AED 450 to cover corporate Mulkiya printing and trade-licence verification. Both buyer and seller must attend unless a notarised power of attorney covers one party.

For an export NOC at Warsan, present the existing Mulkiya, the registered owner's Emirates ID and passport copy, the most recent inspection report (must be under 30 days old; otherwise an export test is required), proof of cleared fines and zero Salik balance, and the buyer's identification or passport if exporting on behalf of an overseas purchaser. Bank-financed cars require a full possession reservation lift letter, not just an NOC. The export desk issues a de-registration certificate, red export plates valid for three days and de-activates the Salik tag. Total fee AED 145. For high-value or rebuilt exports, Al Aweer is the better branch because of its direct customs adjacency.

Yes. The Salik counter inside the Warsan customer hall settles any outstanding toll fine in real time against the Salik gateway. Card payment only - cash is no longer accepted for fine settlement. Salik fines accrue at AED 100 per unpaid toll if left for more than five working days, so clearing them in advance via the Salik app or salik.gov.ae portal usually saves money. Outstanding traffic fines are settled at the same counter through the RTA fine consolidation system. The Mulkiya cannot renew, transfer or export while any Salik or traffic fine remains open on the file.

Cars under finance carry a possession reservation flag in the RTA system that blocks transfer and export, and sometimes renewal. The financing bank must issue a stamped NOC on letterhead, dated within 30 days, addressed to RTA Dubai. Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, FAB and Dubai Islamic Bank issue digital PDFs that Warsan verifies in real time against the bank portal. Bank NOC fees range from AED 50 to AED 250. Once the loan is fully settled, request a possession reservation lift letter so the RTA permanently clears the flag (AED 100 Mulkiya reprint at Tasjeel).

Failed inspections at Warsan come with a printed report itemising each failure. The most common, in order, are tint above 30 per cent, brake imbalance (greater than 30 per cent differential), worn pads, suspension play, headlight aim, and exhaust emissions exceeding Euro 4. Tint is easiest to fix at any sticker shop on Al Awir Road for AED 150-300. Brakes and suspension require a proper workshop in International City or Al Quoz; allow half a day. Re-test within 30 days at the same Warsan branch is free; any other branch charges the full AED 170.

RTA Dubai mandates 13 months of motor insurance from the Mulkiya renewal date. The extra month is a regulatory grace period covering the gap between policy renewals and Mulkiya renewals, which rarely align exactly. Policies issued for only 12 months are rejected at the cashier and the customer must purchase a top-up before the renewal proceeds. On-site brokers at Warsan issue compliant 13-month policies in under five minutes (AED 900-3,500). Sharjah-only or Abu Dhabi-only policies are rejected; the policy must be UAE-wide and currently active. Lapsed policies require a fresh proposal form before issuance.

Electric vehicles registered in Dubai are inspected annually at Warsan with the emissions test waived. The inspection covers brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, tint, seat belts and chassis integrity, skipping the exhaust gas analyser since there is no tailpipe. The fee is unchanged at AED 170. Tesla, BMW iX, Audi e-tron, Nissan Leaf, Polestar and BYD models pass through the standard lane. Charging-port inspection is not currently part of the test. Hybrids undergo a modified emissions cycle. EVs under three years old are exempt from inspection entirely and can renew on the RTA Dubai app.
