If the issue is still the same, you can contact your insurance and ask them to push the electronic certificate manually to the TAMM database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-someone-else-take-my-car-for-inspection\">Can someone else take my car for inspection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Another person can usually present your vehicle for inspection. A digital Mulkiya is generally sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-i-have-to-drive-to-abu-dhabi-for-the-inspection\">Do I have to drive to Abu Dhabi for the inspection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers living in Dubai but driving an Abu Dhabi-registered car do not necessarily need to travel to Abu Dhabi; they can find &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adnocdistribution.ae\/en\/car-care\/vic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vehicle Inspection Centers near them in any other emirate<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-paid-my-fines-but-the-renewal-is-still-blocked\">I paid my fines, but the renewal is still blocked.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you paid all Mawaqif, <a href=\"https:\/\/admobility.gov.ae\/en\/darb-fees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Darb<\/a>, and traffic fines, but the renewal is still blocked, it can mean two things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are hidden black points that need to be transferred to the driving license. If you cannot transfer them digitally, you need to physically visit Murror in Abu Dhabi and transfer them to the driving license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government systems sometimes take time to sync. You need to wait for 24 to 48 hours.
