How to Transfer Black Points Abu Dhabi

Transferring black points is a legally permitted option in the UAE, but it comes with strict procedural rules. According to current Abu Dhabi Police regulations, black points may only be transferred if another person was driving at the time of the violation, and they must hold a valid UAE driving license. The official process involves:

  • Accessing the Abu Dhabi Police portal or app
  • Selecting the traffic violation in question
  • Providing the Emirates ID and license number of the actual driver
  • Awaiting their confirmation through the digital system

Only upon acceptance by the other party will the black points be reassigned. Both drivers must complete the process within a specified timeframe, and deliberate misuse of this policy is subject to penalty.

At Trinity Rental, we offer full guidance through such processes where needed, ensuring discretion and procedural accuracy. Importantly, our pricing includes full insurance, toll road coverage, VAT, and a generous 300 km per day allowance, which reduces the chance of unintentional violations. Our goal is to help each client remain focused on their journey, not on bureaucratic complexities.

How Long Do Black Points Last in Abu Dhabi

Each black points system issued by traffic authorities in Abu Dhabi stays on the driver's record for 12 months from the date of the violation. If no further infractions occur during that period, the point expires automatically. However, if new violations arise, the timeline for expiry resets accordingly. This structured system is designed to encourage consistent safe driving over time. As such:

  • A single violation has a 12-month shelf life
  • Multiple violations carry staggered expiry dates
  • Zero infractions in a year leads to a clean record

For luxury-minded drivers, such as those who choose Trinity Rental, avoiding further penalties is rarely an issue. We provide exceptionally maintained vehicles, always inspected before each rental. In addition, we offer a complimentary full tank of fuel upon delivery, so that our clients begin their experience in comfort and confidence. This holistic care, from paperwork to fuel, supports a smoother, cleaner, and worry-free driving experience in the UAE.
