Abu Dhabi clarifies procedures for replacement of vehicles' lost number plates

The General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police clarified that a replacement for a lost vehicle plate number can be easily issued through "TAMM" platform if one plate is lost, but if two plates are lost, the nearest police station must be visited to obtain the service.

Abu Dhabi Police (ADP) indicated that if a lost plate is found, it must be handed over to the nearest service centre. It also affirmed that the required documents when submitting the application are the Emirates ID, and the cost for two plates is Dhs70 for long plates, Dhs60 for short ones, Dhs500 for a sports plate, and Dhs200 for a plate bearing the identity logo (per plate.)

The ADP stated that the application steps include logging in using the digital ID, or visiting a service centre, submitting the application and required documents, paying the fees, and then receiving the replacement vehicle plate number within two days of submitting the application.

The conditions for obtaining the service also include the presence of the person or a representative with an official power of attorney.

The ADP added that it allowed to request the service via TAMM once a month for a single plate but if the service request for a single plate is repeated, a service centre must be visited.
