How to Transfer a Company Car in Dubai to an Individual in Dubai

Feb 5, 2025 - 2 min read

If you are selling a company car and need to transfer ownership to an individual, there is a specific process to follow to ensure the transfer complies with Dubai’s regulations. Here’s how to go about it:

  1. Vehicle Testing: The first step is to take the car to any RTA-authorized testing center. The vehicle must pass a roadworthiness test to ensure it meets all safety and operational standards. Without passing this test, the transfer cannot proceed.
  2. Insurance in Buyer’s Name: Once the car passes the test, the buyer needs to secure insurance for the vehicle under their name. This is a mandatory requirement, as the RTA requires valid insurance to register the vehicle under the new owner.
  3. Preparation of Documents: After the test and insurance are completed, the company selling the vehicle must prepare the following documents:
    • Letter in Arabic: A formal letter on the company’s official letterhead addressed to the RTA. This letter must request the transfer of ownership from the company to the individual. It should include essential details like the car’s make, model, year, chassis number, and the buyer’s Emirates ID number. The letter must be written in Arabic, as English letters are not accepted. It also needs to be stamped and signed by the company’s manager or an authorized signatory, as specified in the company’s trade license.
    • Company Documents: A photocopy of the company’s trade license or the Memorandum of Association (MOA). These documents establish the legitimacy of the company and the authorization to sell the vehicle.
  4. Final Transfer: Once all documents are ready, both the company’s manager (or authorized signatory) and the buyer must visit an RTA registration or transfer center together. Personal presence of both parties is mandatory to complete the transfer process.
