Car History Check by Chassis Number in UAE

How Do I Check Car History by Chassis Number on the MOI Website?

The MOI Accidents Inquiry page is the quickest free check in the country: no account, no UAE Pass, no fee.

• Step1- Open the MOI portal and go to the Accidents Inquiry page under Public Services.
• Step2- Type the full 17-character chassis number into the field.
• Step3- Complete the captcha.
• Step4- Submit.

If the car has records, MOI returns the number of accidents plus the date, time, location, and report number for each one. If it has none, you get a short “no records” message. MOI keeps records from the date the vehicle was first registered in the UAE. A car shipped in from the US or Japan and never registered here will show nothing, no matter what happened to it abroad.

Also on MOI: The same portal handles a Request for a True Copy of a Traffic Accident Report and the Issuance of a Minor Traffic Accident Inspection Report. Those are for people who were in the accident, not for buyers screening a car. The minor accident report runs through MOI, SAAED, or Rafid and needs the registration card and driving licence.

How Do I Check Vehicle Details With Chassis Number on Emirates Vehicle Gate?

EVG is the federal vehicle services portal. Its Traffic Accidents Management tool searches accident history by chassis number and is free to use.

• Step1- Go to evg.ae.
• Step2- Open Traffic Accidents Management from the home page. Use Quick Search if you do not have an account.
• Step3- Enter the chassis number.
• Step4- Click search.
• Step5- If more than one accident is listed, use the plus and minus buttons at the top to move between reports.
• Step6- Save or print the result for your records.

EVG often shows a little more than MOI: the type of accident and the level of damage, not just that something happened. Creating an EVG account gives you fuller access than Quick Search does.

EVG is strongest on cars registered in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. If a car started life in one of those emirates and later moved to Dubai, its older records can drop out of EVG. MOI tends to hold on to them.

How Do I Check Car Details by Chassis Number on the Abu Dhabi Police Site?

Abu Dhabi Police runs an Accidents’ Inquiry page on its e-Services site. It asks for two things only: the chassis number and the text shown in an image.

• Step1- Open the Abu Dhabi Police e-Services site.
• Step2- Go to Public Services, then Vehicle Accidents Inquiry.
• Step3- Enter the chassis number.
• Step4- Type the text from the image.
• Step5- Submit to see the accidents recorded against that vehicle.

There is a second route through TAMM, the Abu Dhabi government services platform. Search for View Vehicle Accident History under Abu Dhabi Police, sign in with UAE Pass, and enter the chassis number. Same data, and it works better on a phone.

Do not confuse this with the paid TAMM service called Request for Printing a Traffic Accident Report and To Whom It May Concern Certificate. That one costs AED 500 for the printed accident report and AED 100 for the certificate.

How Do I Check Car History by Chassis Number in Dubai Through RTA?

For a Dubai-registered car, the official paid report is the RTA Technical Vehicle Status Report. RTA describes it as a report covering the important information on a used vehicle that is registered or held on a Possession Certificate, such as car insurance validity and ownership history.

Where to Apply

Three channels only: the RTA website, the RTA Dubai app, and the Dubai Now app. RTA states plainly that you cannot apply at Inspection or Customer Happiness Centres.

Steps on the RTA Website

• Step1- Log in with your username and password, UAE Pass or your Emirates ID, driving licence, plate number, or Traffic File details.
• Step2- Select the vehicle, then choose Vehicle History Report under Vehicle Licensing Services.
• Step3- Pay the fee by credit card.
• Step4- Receive the report by email. Alternatively, download it from Certificates on your dashboard.

Fees and Timing

Item	Amount
Report fee	AED 100
Knowledge and Innovation fee	AED 20
Total	AED 120
Service time	1 working day
Payment method	Credit card only

You must be a citizen, resident, GCC national, or diplomat with a Traffic File in Dubai. There are no document requirements, and each vehicle needs its own separate application.

Imported Cars - RTA confirms the report can add information on cars imported from Japan, Europe, and the United States, for an extra fee. Useful if the Mulkiya shows a non-GCC vehicle.

Then How Do I Check the Accident History of a Dubai Car?

There is no single free portal that hands you a Dubai crash history by chassis number. So you stack a few checks instead.

1. Run the free MOI check anyway. If the car was registered in another emirate before it came to Dubai, older accidents can still appear.
2. Buy the RTA Technical Vehicle Status Report for the ownership trail, insurance record, and inspection status.
3. Book a proper inspection. A paint depth gauge and a lift can reveal repaired damage that never made it into any database.
4. Ask the seller for service records and repair invoices, then match the chassis number on them.
5. Consider a paid third-party history report if the car was imported.

Dubai Police does issue accident reports, but through services like Request a True Copy of a Traffic Accident Report. These are built for the people involved in that accident and usually need a reference number. They are not a buyer’s search tool.

What Does the “No Accident Record Found” Really Mean?

It means that one database, on that day, had nothing filed against that chassis number. That is all.

There are at least five ordinary reasons a car with a damaged past comes back clean:

1. The accident was never reported to the police
2. It was repaired privately, with no insurance claim
3. It happened in an emirate whose data that portal does not cover, Dubai being the usual case
4. It happened overseas, before the car reached the UAE
5. You mistyped one character of a 17-character code

So a clean result is a good sign, not a guarantee. Pair it with a physical inspection every single time.

What Details Can You Get From a Chassis Number?

It depends on the portal and where the car is registered. Across the official UAE services, a chassis number can surface:

1. Accident records – how many, when, where, and the report number
2. Type of accident and damage level, on EVG
3. Ownership history – how many owners the car has had, from the RTA report
4. Insurance type and validity
5. Technical and annual inspection status
6. Distance covered, where the record exists
7. Impound records
8. Registration and plate status
9. Overseas history for Japanese, European, and American imports, as a paid add-on to the RTA report
