Transferring your car registration while you’re outside the UAE might sound complicated, but the process is quite straightforward if you know the right steps. Whether your vehicle is registered in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, or you wish to transfer it to another emirate, there are clear procedures that allow you to authorize someone to handle the transfer on your behalf. Below is the complete process explained in detail.
Transfer Process for Dubai Registered Vehicles
If your car is registered in Dubai and you’ve found a good deal to sell it but cannot come to the country due to your busy schedule, here’s how you can still complete the transfer process easily.
First, you need to make a Power of Attorney (POA) for vehicle transfer. This can be done online through the Ministry of Justice.
- The Power of Attorney should specifically mention your car details.
- You can set its expiry period as per your choice (14 days, 30 days, etc.).
- You can make this Power of Attorney in the name of a friend or family member who can go and transfer your car on your behalf.
If you prefer, you can also make the Power of Attorney directly in the buyer’s name if you are comfortable settling the payment with them directly.
However, it’s recommended to make it on a friend or family member’s name so they can handle the procedure securely on your behalf.

How To Transfer Your Vehicle Registration in Abu Dhabi
If your car is registered in Abu Dhabi and you want to transfer it to an Abu Dhabi-based buyer:
- Make sure you have digital service signatures.
- You can apply for them on the TAMM app.
- Once you have the signature, the car needs to be tested.
- The buyer or any of your friends or family can take the car for testing.
- After the test passes, the buyer needs to take insurance.
- Once the insurance is done, you can transfer the vehicle registration online on the TAMM app through the “Vehicle Transfer” option.
Transfer of Vehicle From One Emirate to Another
You can also transfer your vehicle from one emirate to another while being outside the UAE.
- If your car is registered in Dubai and you want to transfer it to another emirate, you can use the Power of Attorney to issue the Transfer to Other Emirate Certificate with ownership change in the buyer’s name.
- If your car is registered in Abu Dhabi and you want to transfer it to Dubai or any other emirate, you can issue the Transfer to Other Emirate Certificate with ownership change through the TAMM app.
