How to pay a Dubai Police traffic fine
You can pay a Dubai Police traffic fine at any hour without visiting a station. The quickest route is the Dubai Police smart app or website. Kiosks and Smart Police Stations are the offline options. If the total is large, an interest-free instalment plan through participating banks spreads it over 3, 6 or 12 months. Paying early also stops traffic fines from building up and leading to further action.
Which way to pay suits you
| Channel | Best for | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai Police smart app | Checking and paying from your phone | Any time |
| Dubai Police website | Paying from a laptop or checking several fines | Any time |
| Self-service kiosks | Paying without the app | Kiosk locations |
| Smart Police Stations | Paying in person at any hour | 24 hours a day |
Paying in instalments
Dubai Police offers an interest-free instalment plan through participating banks, over 3, 6 or 12 months, for Dubai Police fines that total at least Dh3,000. Our guide on how to pay Dubai traffic fines in instalments explains who qualifies and how to set it up.
A Sample Case (Figures Are Illustrative)
The driver and fines here are made up. Say fines total Dh3,600, which clears the Dh3,000 minimum. Over 12 months that is Dh300 a month. Over 6 months it is Dh600 a month, and over 3 months it is Dh1,200 a month. A shorter plan costs more each month but clears the balance sooner. Since the plan is interest-free, the total repaid stays at Dh3,600 on these figures, so check your bank’s own terms for any processing fee.
Before you pay
- Check that the fine was issued by Dubai Police. Salik toll fines and parking fines are paid separately, so see our Salik fines guide.
- If a car was impounded, fines can sit alongside impound charges. See our Smart Impound guide for the Dubai and Abu Dhabi cost comparison.
- Keep the payment receipt until the fine disappears from the app.
Stay informed on road safety
Dubai Police also runs a traffic safety platform called Aman Roads, with regularly updated road safety content, traffic advice and awareness campaigns. If you ride a bicycle or e-scooter, check the rules on designated routes and protective equipment before you head out.
