Dubai Number Plate Market Overview
Dubai is home to the most prestigious and actively traded number plate market in the UAE. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) issues plates across multiple code categories—including A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z—each with numbers ranging from single-digit to five-digit combinations.
The Dubai plate market is fuelled by a culture of prestige and personalisation. Low-digit plates are considered status symbols, frequently appearing on luxury vehicles across the city. High-profile RTA auctions regularly set record prices, with single-digit plates fetching tens of millions of dirhams. The secondary market on platforms like TradeMyPlate offers buyers a wider selection at competitive prices.
Whether you are an investor looking for appreciating assets or a car enthusiast seeking a unique identity for your vehicle, Dubai's number plate market offers unmatched variety and liquidity compared to other emirates.
Dubai Plate Codes and Categories
Dubai plates are identified by a letter code followed by a number. The most common codes are A, B, C, D, and E, though the RTA has issued plates across the full alphabet. Code A plates are generally the most sought-after due to their early issuance and prestige.
Plate categories by digit count include:
Single-Digit (1–9): The rarest and most valuable. Prices typically start from AED 500,000 and can exceed AED 30 million at auction for Code A plates.
Double-Digit (10–99): Premium VIP plates ranging from AED 100,000 to AED 2 million depending on the code and number combination. Lucky numbers like 77, 88, and 99 command higher premiums.
Triple-Digit (100–999): A popular mid-range category priced between AED 20,000 and AED 200,000. Repeating patterns (111, 777) and sequential numbers are particularly desirable.
Four-Digit (1000–9999): Accessible entry point to the Dubai plate market, typically ranging from AED 5,000 to AED 50,000.
Five-Digit (10000–99999): The most affordable category, generally priced between AED 2,000 and AED 15,000, ideal for buyers wanting a specific number.
Dubai Number Plate Pricing Guide
Dubai plate prices are influenced by several factors: the code letter, digit count, number pattern, and current market demand. Code A plates consistently command the highest premiums across all digit categories.
Entry-level Dubai plates (4–5 digits) can be found from AED 2,000, making them accessible to most buyers. Mid-range plates (2–3 digits) typically fall between AED 20,000 and AED 500,000. Premium single-digit plates represent the top tier of the market.
Prices on the secondary market are often more competitive than RTA auctions, as sellers may offer negotiable prices and flexible payment arrangements. TradeMyPlate provides transparent pricing with direct seller contact to help you find the best deal.
How to Transfer a Dubai Number Plate (RTA Process)
Transferring a Dubai number plate is handled through the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The process can be completed online via the RTA app or in person at an RTA service centre.
Required Documents: Emirates ID of both buyer and seller, vehicle registration card (Mulkiya), valid insurance certificate, and a completed transfer application form.
Transfer Fees: The standard RTA plate transfer fee is AED 350 for a number transfer between vehicles. Additional fees may apply for new registration or plate manufacturing.
Timeline: Online transfers through the RTA app are typically processed within 1–2 business days. In-person transfers at RTA centres can be completed same-day.
Important Note: Both parties must have active vehicle registrations in Dubai. The plate must be clear of any traffic fines or blocks before transfer can proceed.
