Hi all,

My cars registration needs to renewed in a few days but it needs to go into the garage tomorrow for some work to be done, which means by the time it comes out the registration will have expired. Is there a grace period with the RTA to get the registration renewed or will I be fined? I know my insurance lasts for 13 months, I assume the 13 month of this is to allow you get your car registration renewed.

Any ideas?

you get one month grace and then a small fine per month thereafter. mine ran out in april, not been around to sort it.

Same here. M3 (which will be sale soon) ran out in June, the Camaro earlier this month and both will not be re-registered until late September when I am back.

Sadly yes. I have to finally admit that i cannot let her sit for 6 months (which she is doing now) and then 6 months again when I come back to Lima in early October.

The SLK will also be going.

I got mine done 2 days ago which was 10 days past the renewal date.

Took it to Al Barsha mall around 1pm, on the test certificate, total test time was "7 Minutes" haha

My car is only 2 years old (2nd owner hence the test)

Spent more time waiting for paperwork and getting the sticker!

Unreal, now i understand why there are so many buckets on the road these days!
