Dealing with traffic violations and heavy fines can be stressful, especially if you’re unsure about the payment process. Non-payable fines, often referred to as blocked fines, can add more confusion as they come with black points along with the monetary penalty.
These fines are typically issued for serious traffic offenses, and the penalty varies based on the severity of the violation. For example, a speeding fine might result in a Dh500 blocked fine, while a DUI (driving under the influence) violation could lead to a fine of Dh2,000.
Resolving Non-Payable Fines in Dubai
While most traffic fines in Dubai can be paid online, non-payable fines require a different approach. To settle a blocked fine in Dubai, drivers need to contact the traffic department by email at ps-t@dubaipolice.gov.ae or visit the following locations:
- Deira Traffic Department (Opposite Terminal 2)
- Barsha Traffic Department (near Mall of the Emirates, facing Sheikh Zayed Road)
Motorists must bring their Emirates ID and driving license to the police station. Once there, the black points will be transferred from the vehicle license to the driving license, allowing you to pay the fine on the spot. You can check the list of fines and black points at the relevant police department.
How to Pay Non-Payable Fines in Abu Dhabi
Previously, non-payable fines in Abu Dhabi could only be paid at designated traffic police service centers. However, this has now changed, and you can pay these fines online or at police stations. Here’s how to resolve non-payable fines in Abu Dhabi:
- Using the TAMM Mobile App
- Open the TAMM app, where your fines will be displayed. An orange dot next to the fine indicates that it’s a non-payable fine due to black points.

- Option 2: Transfer from Another Traffic Profile – If the black points are from another traffic profile, select this option and enter the traffic fine number. You’ll receive an OTP, which, once entered, will allow you to transfer the black points and pay the fine.
