Abu Dhabi offers 25% discount on traffic fines paid within 30 days of violation

Officials in Abu Dhabi have confirmed that parking permit services for residents of the emirate has now moved to the Darb platform.

Via the Darb platform, customers can submit applications for new residents parking permits, renew expired permits (or those close to expiry), without having to upload any documents.

The new system will also accept requests to modify the information contained in existing residents parking permits, such as changing vehicle information or residence information.

The announcement of the new system was made on Tuesday by the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), represented by the Integrated Trasnsport Centre (ITC).

By integrating internal data systems to provide documents and records needed for the parking permits, such as Tawtheeq tenancy contract, Emirates ID, or vehicle registration, there is no need to downlaod them separately onto the Darb platform.

The ITC highlighted that the permit will be issued immediately after submitting the application and paying the service fees, in the absence of any pending fines.

In the event of existing fines, customers are required to pay the fines and service fees in order to immediately obtain the permit.

The customer would then be notified of the successful residents parking permit application and the system would be updated accordingly.

ITC support team would also work on reviewing the information of the application within 14 days from the date of permit issuance.

ITC has also provided the option to enquire about and pay Mawaqif fines of individual vehicles or company vehicles through the Darb platform.

A 25 per cent discount of the fine’s total amount is applicable if the fine was paid within 30 days of issuance.

The terms of the service are mandatory for all residential parking spaces in Abu Dhabi. The service also observes a number of public and private standards of parking spots and its locations.

In August, the ITC noted that multistorey car park subscribers were permitted to use all seven multistorey car parks across Abu Dhabi city, without having to pay separate fees at each of the facilities. The subscription fee for the use of multistorey car parks is Dhs1,369 for 3 months, Dhs2,738 for six months and Dhs5,475 for the whole year.
