Buying or selling a used car in Dubai is not complete until the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) formally transfers ownership from the seller's name to the buyer's name on the Mulkiya. Skipping this step can leave the seller liable for the buyer's traffic fines and Salik charges, and can leave the buyer unable to register insurance or renew registration later.
