Common Mistakes to Avoid

Critical Pitfalls & Fine Risks

Paying the monetary fine before transferring points — on certain systems, paying closes the ticket and automatically assigns points to the vehicle owner.
Attempting to transfer points to a driver who does not hold an active UAE driving licence (points cannot be transferred to international licences).
Attempting to sell or trade black points — transferring points to someone who was not operating the vehicle is a serious criminal offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer black points if the driver holds a non-Dubai UAE licence?

Yes. Black points can be transferred to any valid UAE driving licence issued by Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah via the unified Federal Police network.

Can black points be transferred after the fine has been paid?

No. Once a fine with attached black points is paid and settled under a licence, the points are permanently locked to that record and cannot be reassigned.

What if the driver refuses to accept the black points?

If a driver who was operating your vehicle refuses to accept points, you must visit a Dubai Police Traffic Department customer happiness center with rental contracts, company logbooks, or CCTV footage to submit a formal driver identification dispute.

Can company vehicle fines transfer black points to employees?

Yes. Corporate fleet managers can log into the Dubai Police Business Portal to assign driver black points to the specific employee assigned to that vehicle.

Does transferring points cost any fee?

No, the digital transfer of traffic points is free of charge on the official Dubai Police portal.
