- Provide necessary information: The insurance company will require certain information about the new owner, such as their name, contact information, and Emirates ID.
- Submit documentation: The insurance company may also require documentation, such as a bill of sale or transfer of ownership certificate. The insurance company will also require the original RTA registration card of the vehicle
- Update the policy: Once the insurance company has received all the necessary information and documentation, they will update the policy to reflect the new owner's information.
- Payment of premium: The new owner will have to pay the remaining premium if the policy is not renewed or expired.
