According to a statement released by Sharjah Police on March 2nd, drivers in Sharjah will receive a 50% discount on all traffic fines for the entire month of March.
The initiative to ease the load of drivers who have accumulated traffic tickets includes the lowered penalty. In addition, the initiative will not impose black points or impound automobiles until there are major infractions.
Serious infractions including reckless driving, endangering life, speeding detected by radar, running red lights, and others are not eligible for the discount, according to Sharjah Police.
Where to pay traffic fines in Sharjah
According to Sharjah Police, there are three ways for drivers to pay their fines:
- The Ministry of Interior app – ‘MOI UAE’
- The app “Sharjah Police”
- “Sahl” devices, which are self-service payment kiosks, are available at police stations and in Sharjah’s larger malls.
How to pay Sharjah traffic fines on the MOI app
Step 1: Log in to the MOI app
- Download the “MOI UAE” app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Use your UAE Pass to log in, or make an account just for the MOI app. Your entire name, mobile number, email address, and Emirates ID number are required for this.
Step 2: Find the traffic fine payment service
Open the app, select the’services’ menu at the bottom of the screen, select the first category, ‘Traffic Services,’ and then choose ‘Traffic Fines Payment.
Step 3: Choose how you wish to search for fines on your record
You will find four ways of searching for traffic fines:
- Traffic Code Number
- Licence number
- Plate number

Next, tap the ‘view fines’ button.
Step 4: View the discounted traffic fines
The MOI app will display your traffic fines based on the information you provided about your traffic license. According to the MOI call center at 8005000, Sharjah’s reduced fines will automatically appear in the MOI app. For instance, if you originally received a fine of Dh600, it will appear as Dh300 on the app.
