By registering them as classic cars, enthusiasts can continue to preserve them for the generation to come. The process of classic car registration in all Emirates is easy and convenient; however, there are a few details to note. Here\u2019s how you can register a classic car in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"  src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170355\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170355\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170355\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170355\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170355\/classic-car-registration-uae-7.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-requirements-for-classic-car-registration-in-the-uae\"><strong>Requirements For Classic Car Registration In The UAE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UAE, for a car to be officially classified as a classic, it must have reached a minimum age of 30 years. Additionally, it is essential that the vehicle complies with the safety guidelines set forth by both the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Automobile Touring Club UAE (ATCUAE).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While relatively uncommon, there is an exception for right-hand drive vehicles that meet the age requirement of being 30 years old or older, as they can also be registered as classic cars and permitted to be driven on UAE roads. This classification allows enthusiasts to preserve and enjoy vintage automobiles that hold significant historical and sentimental value even if it isn\u2019t left-hand driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170322\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170322\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170322\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170322\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170322\/classic-car-registration-uae-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-classic-car-registration-mandatory-in-the-uae\"><strong>Is Classic Car Registration Mandatory In The UAE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Obtaining a classic number plate is not compulsory for classic cars in the UAE, as many of them can be seen with the standard white background plates. However, there are several advantages to opting for a brown classic plate. Firstly, having a brown plate grants Dubai registration for the classic car. Additionally, it allows membership in the Emirates Classic Car Club, providing enthusiasts with a community of like-minded individuals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advantages-of-classic-car-registration-in-the-uae\"><strong>Advantages Of Classic Car Registration In The UAE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit is the availability of discounted recovery rates for classic vehicles, ensuring assistance in case of breakdowns. Moreover, classic plate holders enjoy personalized service, catering to the unique needs and requirements of vintage car owners. These benefits make the option of getting a brown classic number plate attractive to classic car owners, further promoting the preservation and appreciation of these cherished automobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170348\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170348\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170348\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170348\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170348\/classic-car-registration-uae-6.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-classic-car-registration-test-parameters-in-the-uae\"><strong>Classic Car Registration Test Parameters In The UAE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/vehicle-inspection\">car inspection<\/a>, the ATCUAE (Automobile &amp; Touring Club United Arab Emirates) inspectors conduct two tests to assess the vehicle thoroughly. The first test evaluates the visual aspects of the car, while the second test focuses on the car&#8217;s safety measures and environmental impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspectors carefully examine the following aspects of the classic car to ensure it meets the required standards and regulations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Body panels, subframe, and chassis for rust or cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Brake efficiency using an electronic brake tester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Brake system components, including hydraulic brake cylinders, brake pins, rods, power brake system, levers, and handbrake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Doors, locks, and the bonnet for proper functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Emission test conducted electronically to check the vehicle&#8217;s emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.

Transmission controls for both automatic and manual transmissions, including clutch inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17. Tyres are visually checked for wear, tear, cracks, and roadworthiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18. Vehicle modifications, if any, are noted and assessed for appropriateness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19.

Wheels, including metal rims for rust or damage and wooden wheels for splitting or insect damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21. Windscreen and side windows, including their opening mechanisms, are inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By performing these checks, the inspectors ensure the classic cars meet the required safety and roadworthiness standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/01170403\/classic-car-registration-uae-8-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-classic-car-registration-categories-in-the-uae\"><strong>Classic Car Registration Categories In The UAE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In all Emirates except for Abu Dhabi, classic cars are classified into six categories based on their usage and characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Category A<\/strong>: Cars built from 1950 onwards, are allowed to be driven across the UAE for up to 10,000 kilometers per year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Category B<\/strong>: Vehicles built before 1950, are permitted to be driven on all UAE roads for up to 5,000 kilometers per year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Category C<\/strong>: Motor vehicles restricted from driving on certain Dubai roads with minimum speed limits of 60 km\/h.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Category D<\/strong>: Cars not suitable for evening driving due to insufficient equipment, specifically headlights for low-lit areas.
