Minor Accident Reporting: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to report minor vehicle accidents in the UAE to ensure you receive the official police reports needed for insurance claims.
This service allows drivers involved in small traffic incidents to report the event and obtain the necessary documentation required by law.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically for drivers involved in minor accidents. To qualify for this specific reporting process, the incident must be a minor accident that does not involve any injuries to the people involved.
What you get
By completing this process, you will receive an official police report. This document is essential because it serves as the formal record of the incident, which you will need to provide to your insurance provider to process any claims for vehicle repairs or related damages.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to use this service; it is free when completed via the official mobile app. However, it does require your time and effort to document the scene correctly. You must take clear photos of the vehicle damage to ensure the report is processed successfully.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is the order of operations at the scene of the accident. You should not move your vehicle until you have taken the necessary photos of the damage and the position of the cars, unless the vehicles are actively blocking the flow of traffic and creating a safety hazard.
How to apply
