Abu Dhabi car services on TAMM
Updated 27 October 2026
In Abu Dhabi almost every car service is on TAMM, the government's one-stop platform: renewing the registration, transferring ownership, Darb tolls, residents' parking and paying fines. Here's what each costs, from TAMM's own service pages, and how to do it.
Abu Dhabi vehicle fees on TAMM
| Service | Fee (AED) |
|---|---|
| Renew registration, private light vehicle | 350 |
| Renew registration, private vehicle 3–12 tonnes | 400 |
| Register a new private light vehicle | 400 |
| Transfer ownership, private light vehicle | 350 |
| Replace a lost or damaged registration card | 300 |
| Register a vehicle with Darb | 100 |
| Residents' parking permit (Mawaqif), first vehicle | 800 |
| Residents' parking permit, second vehicle | 1,200 |
Renewal and transfer are the same price as in Dubai (AED 350 for a private car), but TAMM shows no separate AED 20 fee. A replacement registration card costs more: AED 300 against AED 70 in Dubai (see RTA fees).
How to renew your registration on TAMM
- Make sure the insurance is valid and, for an older car, that it has passed the vehicle test. TAMM's Vehicle Inspection Centre service lists the test centres.
- Clear any unpaid traffic fines. You can pay them on TAMM with no extra charge.
- Log in with UAE PASS, choose Renew Vehicle Registration and pay. You only need your Emirates ID.

Darb tolls
Register your car with Darb on TAMM for AED 100, whether it's registered in Abu Dhabi or another emirate. Crossings cost AED 4 at peak times; see Salik and Darb rates for the hours and gates.
Mawaqif residents' parking
If you live in an area with paid Mawaqif parking, a residents' permit costs AED 800 for the first vehicle and AED 1,200 for a second. You need the tenancy contract, an electricity bill, the vehicle ownership and your Emirates ID, and you apply on TAMM with UAE PASS.
