Phew - got really scared there because I'm about a week late with mine. Tasjeel is re-registering mine on Sunday.

Blue Cat

a week is fine because your Insurance runs for 13 months

Emerald_Eyes

Yeah I wondered why my insurance is due to be renewed at the end of April and my car needs to be reregistered at the begining of March.

Fairydust

Damn another job to do then suppose I best check the fines next

Confused ! Please explain

My registration runs out on 04 09 so im guessing thats the end of April & not the beginning, the car has been serviced today. I know the place its in Barsha but WTF do i do take it in & do what ? Do i need to take anything ? The car was bought brand new last April. Help.....

Blue Cat

it won't have to be tested, just take in your passport copy and the registration car and your renewed insurance, then ask I guess!! my husband does mine though I did do it myself a couple of years ago, it is quite straight forward.

pauldxb

so can i assume that vehicles over a certain age have to be teseted ? Any idea what the age is....... Also i have to renew the insurance before going to the centre

jrudofsky

First two years new cars don't have to be registered.

Get our insurance renewed and take the originals to the centre....One near the Gold & Diamond Park took 20 mins on a Thursday morning at 7am. Try and have smallish notes for the typist.

pauldxb

what do you mean smallish notes for the typist ?

jrudofsky

Sorry 10dhs or it might be 15dhs...just expect them to look at you blankly if you give them a 100dhs note!

So...in the door, first desk straight in front....typing of form from your insurance certificates. 10/15dhs...waved to next desk, take a number ticket from the guy and sit in front of the next desk, get called, get given a piece of paper. Waved to next desk, sit and wait to be called, hand over paper and pay 320dhs (can't remember the amount). Waved to next desk, wait, get called, give old reg card over and get new one. Go back to the start (numberplate desk) and get a sticker to stick on your rear numberplate..... Done! Go first thing, they open at 7pm.

Or pay 200dhs and someone will do it all for you!

pauldxb

Thanks for that.... i think im assuming i can go whenever i dont have to wait until the eact date ? You must have renewed your insurance before going right ????

jrudofsky

Yes, renew your insurance before going....it's the new insurance they want to see.......

Go as near to the date as possible but you do have one months grace (hence the 13 month insurance people are mentioning).

MacScot

That's a good point jrudofsky...I turned up with my old insurance (still 6 weeks left) but they wouldn't re-register the car.

It is the new insurance they want to see and you have to give them the new Certificate of Insurance in Arabic (which includes an English translation) with the Insurer's company stamp (keep a photocopy for yourself). Your car insurance company will give you the Certificate once you have insured or re-insured with them.
