How to Check Fine on Emirates ID?

Emirates ID Fine Check

All residents and citizens of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) must possess Emirates ID, including expats. It is the main Identity Proof, often termed as the Resident Card. It is issued by Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA). It has 15 digits consisting of the cardholder’s personal details. The card has the photo, basic details like name, contact number, date of birth, and biometric information of the cardholder.

A fine is a monetary penalty that needs to be paid by the defaulter when he or she breaks certain legal rules and regulations of the country.

Types of Fine that are charged on Emirates ID

Jaywalking: This penalty applies to pedestrians who cross roads without using pedestrian lanes. People are also fined if they ignore traffic lights while crossing roads. The applicable fine amount is AED 400. The jaywalking charge applies to motorists too. It is AED 500 when drivers cross the speed limit near zebra crossings. There are CCTV cameras everywhere on the streets that help the authorities to identify defaulters.

Violating Covid-19 rules and guidelines: There are various divisions under this. For example, when people flout social distancing norms at gatherings, they can be fined. Similarly, tweaking Covid-19 test results, non-compliance when an officer stops a person for Covid-19 related issues, conducting classes in person, etc., also attract penalties.

RTA Fines: Drivers and motorists can be charged under different types of violations. For example, reckless driving means a charge of AED 2,000, or driving a vehicle with no number plates attracts a fine of AED 1,000.

Municipality Fines: These are penalties levied by the City Municipality. For example, if there are building violations or the cardholder has faltered on public appearances, they are penalized.

Emirate ID registration delays: In case the Emirate ID is not renewed in time, the cardholder can be penalized up to AED 1,000.

How to check road crossing fine in Dubai?

The authorities in Dubai strictly enforce traffic laws to protect the safety of drivers. You could be subject to severe traffic fines and penalties if you violate these rules. The authorities also put a lot of effort into streamlining the fine payment process. It not only expedites the government’s collecting procedure but also protects citizens against further fines. Checking jaywalking fines is also reasonably straightforward.

The charges for road crossing are recorded when traffic police catch you crossing the road without following the rules. The traffic police ask you to show your EID. You are then provided with the receipt with the amount of fine mentioned on it. In case the police do not provide the receipt, you can go to the nearest police station after a few days and find the fine against you by giving your Emirates ID.

Since the offense is not linked to your license number or vehicle, you can’t search for it in the Dubai police inquiry portal. Thus, you must physically go to the police station to check the fine. Alternatively, you can try other channels such as calling 901 or emailing at mail@dubaipolice.gov.ae or the live chat application on the Dubai police app. However, a visit to the police station is the easiest and the fastest way recommended.

Note: The mentioned fine amount is based on our research. The actual amount can vary or be changed by the concerned authorities.
