Motorists in the UAE who commit traffic violations while driving in neighbouring GCC countries like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Qatar can now settle their traffic fines online,without having to travel back to the issuing country.

Thanks to seamless integration between GCC traffic authorities and UAE platforms like the Dubai Police app and the RTA Dubai app, cross-border fine settlement has become both convenient and efficient.

 

Paying GCC Traffic Fines via Dubai Police App

If you’ve received a traffic fine in a GCC country while driving a UAE-registered vehicle, follow these steps:

  • Open the Dubai Police app 

  • Go to Services > Traffic > Fines Inquiry and Payment

  • Under Fine Source, select the relevant GCC country (e.g., Oman or Kuwait)

  • Enter your fine number and the year it was issued

  • Complete the captcha and click Search

  • If the fine appears, you can pay online using a credit or debit card

 

Paying Traffic Fines via RTA Dubai App

Alternatively, the RTA Dubai app offers a similar process:

  1. Go to the Services section

  2. Choose Pay Fines for Others

  3. Enter the fine number, source country, year, and other required details

  4. Tap Search to retrieve your violation

  5. Pay the GCC traffic fine online using your preferred payment method

 

What if You Were Driving a Rental Car?

If you committed a traffic violation in a GCC country using a rental car, the fine is usually sent directly to the rental company. Most rental providers will charge the fine to your card on file, meaning no manual payment is required from your end.

 

GCC-Wide Traffic Violation Information Sharing Initiative

In 2023, GCC countries initiated discussions to link traffic violation systems across member states. This ongoing collaboration aims to:

  • Unify traffic fine procedures

  • Enhance the exchange of violation data

  • Promote road safety

  • Improve regional compliance with traffic laws

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) includes the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman.

 

Conclusion: Online Convenience for GCC Traffic Fines

Whether you’ve been fined in Oman, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia, UAE residents can now take advantage of online payment systems to settle GCC traffic fines quickly and securely. These advancements reflect growing regional cooperation and a shared commitment to smart mobility and digital governance.
