30-day grace to register expired vehicles: RAK police

Ras Al Khaimah: If you drive a vehicle with expired registration here, then you have 30 days to make it right.

The month-long grace period was announced by the Vehicle and Drivers Licensing Department at Ras Al Khaimah Police on Wednesday.

Beyond the 30-day grace, negligent owners who failed to renew their vehicle registration would face serious consequences, authorities warned.

The department announced that vehicles with registration that expired on or before January 1, 2019 are scheduled for de-registration.

To avoid that, vehicle owners are urged to take advantage of the one-month window to settle the status and renew the registration of their vehicles before the process of complete de-registration begins.

The 30-day grace kicked off on July 12, 2023.

According to UAE Traffic Federal Law, driving a vehicle with expired registration calls for a fine of Dh400, four traffic points and 7-day impoundment.
