If you have an old, unwanted vehicle but have lost the paperwork, you might be wondering, "Can I still scrap my car?" The good news is: Yes, you can — but there are important steps you must take. At Scrap My Car UAE, we understand that not everyone keeps track of every document, especially for old or unused vehicles. In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about scrapping a car without paperwork in Dubai and across the UAE.
Why Is Paperwork Normally Needed?
In the UAE, paperwork for a vehicle proves ownership and ensures the car is not stolen or involved in any legal disputes. The common documents required include:
Vehicle Registration Card (Mulkiya)
Emirates ID
Passport Copy (sometimes)
Insurance papers (if still valid)
However, if these documents are missing, scrapping your car is still possible with a few extra steps.
What If I Don’t Have Any Paperwork?
If you’ve lost your registration or ownership documents, don't panic. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Prove Ownership
Even without your original registration, you must still prove the car is yours. You can provide:
A copy of the old registration card (even a photo helps)
An old insurance policy with your name and the vehicle’s details
Service records showing ownership
Payment receipts or sales contracts
At Scrap My Car UAE, we help you verify ownership through alternative methods if you can’t find the official papers.
2. Obtain a Police Clearance (If Required)
Sometimes, especially if the car has been abandoned for a long time, you may need a police clearance to scrap it legally.This clearance confirms:
The vehicle is not reported stolen
There are no pending fines or legal issues
At Scrap My Car UAE, we guide you through the process and can even assist in applying for the clearance if necessary.
3. Clear Any Outstanding Fines
Before you can officially scrap a vehicle, it’s important to settle any unpaid traffic fines.You can check and pay fines through:
Dubai Police app
RTA website
Local service centers
Once fines are cleared, scrapping becomes much smoother.
4. Work With a Licensed Scrap Dealer
When you don't have the necessary paperwork, it’s essential to work with a trusted and licensed company like Scrap My Car UAE.We ensure:
Full compliance with UAE laws
Proper de-registration of your vehicle
Safe and eco-friendly disposal
Important: Never sell or scrap your car without completing the deregistration process; otherwise, you could still be legally responsible for the vehicle.
