Quick Reference: Which Portal to Use

Check RTA Fines on the UMS RTA Website (Recommended for Most Users)

Here are all the methods for checking RTA traffic fines. You can choose the one that suits you best.

The UMS (Unified Mobility System) platform at https://ums.rta.ae/violations/public-fines/fines-search is the main portal for checking traffic fines across all UAE emirates. No login is required. You can search using your vehicle plate, driving license, fine number, or traffic code number.

By Vehicle Plate Number

Go to https://ums.rta.ae/violations/public-fines/fines-search and select Plate Number. Choose your Plate Source (emirate), select your plate category (Private, Motorcycle, Taxi, etc.), enter your Plate Code and Plate Number, then click Search. Your pending fines will be listed with amounts and black points.

This method works for vehicles registered in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain.

By Driving License Number

On the same UMS page, select License Number. Choose your License Source (the emirate where your license was issued), enter your Driving License Number, and click Search. This is useful if you want to see fines associated with your license specifically rather than a vehicle.

This method covers residents of all emirates including Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain.

By Fine Number

Select Fine Number on the UMS page. Choose your Fine Source from the dropdown — options include Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Municipality, Ajman Municipality, Dubai Municipality, and the Department of Transportation Abu Dhabi. Enter your fine number, select the Fine Year, and click Search.

By Traffic Code Number

Select Traffic Code Number, enter your Traffic File Number, and click Search. This returns a complete list of fines associated with that traffic file.

Check Fines on the RTA Dubai App

Download the RTA Dubai Smart App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Open the app and select your language. Go to the Vehicles & Fines tab and tap Pay Fine. Enter your plate type, plate code, and plate number, then tap View Fines. Your pending fines and black points will be displayed. To pay, tap Pay, enter your email and mobile number, verify the OTP, then complete payment using your preferred method.

You will receive a confirmation message on screen once the payment is processed.

Check RTA Fines on the GDRFAD Website (For Person-Linked Fines)

The GDRFAD (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs — Dubai) portal at https://www.gdrfad.gov.ae/en/fines-inquiry-service handles fines that are linked to a person’s residency record rather than a vehicle. This is where you check fines using your Emirates ID, file number, passport, or UDB number.

By Emirates ID

Select Emirates ID, enter your Emirates ID number, choose your date of birth and gender, complete the security check, and click Submit. Your outstanding fines will appear on screen.

For a detailed guide on Emirates ID fine checking, see the Emirates ID fine check page.

By File Number

Select File Number and choose your File Type (Resident or Permanent). Choose your Place of Issue (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, or Fujairah). Enter your File Number, select your date of birth and gender, complete the security check, and click Submit.

By UDB Number

Select the UDB Number option. The UDB (Unified Database) number is a 9-digit number found at the top of your UAE residency visa. Enter the number, select your date of birth and gender, complete the security check, and click Submit.

By Passport Number

Select Passport Number, enter your passport number, choose your nationality from the dropdown, select your date of birth and gender, complete the security check, and click Submit.

Check RTA Fines via eforms.srta (Sharjah)

For Sharjah-specific fine inquiries, go to https://eforms.srta.gov.ae/eforms/fineenq.aspx. You can search by Traffic Code Number, License Information, Plate Data, or Fine Number. Select your preferred method, enter the required details, choose your Place of Issue, and click Send.

What Is UMS RTA?

UMS stands for Unified Mobility System — it is the central traffic fine management platform operated by the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) in Dubai. The UMS platform consolidates fine data from multiple authorities across all seven UAE emirates, including Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Municipality, Ajman Municipality, and others.

When you search for “ums rta ae” or “ums.rta.ae”, you are looking for this system. The direct link to check fines is https://ums.rta.ae/violations/public-fines/fines-search and no account or login is required.

How to Pay RTA Fines

Online: After checking your fines on the UMS website or RTA app, click Pay and follow the payment steps. You will need your email address, mobile number, and a credit or debit card.

Self-Service Kiosks: There are 32 smart kiosks at 21 locations across Dubai. You will need your Emirates ID card and a credit card. At the kiosk, select E-Services → Fine Payment → Login with Emirates ID. Your fines will appear on screen — select Pay Fine, insert your credit card, enter your PIN, and collect your receipt.

Why it matters: Unpaid RTA fines block your Mulkiya (vehicle registration) renewal. If you are due to renew your vehicle registration, check and clear any outstanding fines first to avoid delays at the traffic department.
