Abu Dhabi Police has intensified enforcement of vehicle number plate regulations starting November 2, 2025. The crackdown targets vehicles with obscured, altered, or tampered license plates, which can incur fines of up to AED 400. This move affects all vehicle owners, fleet operators, and drivers in Abu Dhabi, emphasizing the importance of clear and compliant plates for road safety and legal accountability. The stricter rules also underline cost and operational risks for companies managing corporate fleets. These measures align with broader regulatory initiatives by the Department of Municipalities and Transport to streamline plate ownership and transfer processes. Vehicle owners are advised to ensure their plates are fully visible and compliant to avoid penalties.
