Scrapping a vehicle in the UAE is usually a quick and smooth process—but what happens if you’ve lost the Mulkiya (vehicle registration card)? Can you still complete the process legally?

The short answer: Yes, you can scrap a car without the Mulkiya in the UAE—but only if you follow the correct steps and provide alternative proof of ownership.

In this guide, we break down everything you need to know, including the documents required, the legal process, mistakes to avoid, and how Scrap My Car UAE can help make the entire process stress-free.

Why People Scrap a Car Without the Mulkiya

Losing the Mulkiya is more common than most people think. You may need to scrap your car without it if:

  • The registration card was misplaced or stolen

  • The car has been abandoned for years

  • The vehicle was damaged in an accident and the documents were lost

  • You never received the Mulkiya from the previous owner

  • The car has been parked for so long its documents are expired

No matter the reason, you still need to prove ownership before you can legally scrap the vehicle.

Is It Legal to Scrap a Car Without the Mulkiya in the UAE?

Yes—but only with proper verification. UAE regulations require proof that you are the rightful owner before scrapping any vehicle.

So while you can scrap a car without the Mulkiya, you cannot do it without:

  • Ownership proof

  • Identity verification

  • Document replacement steps

Reputable companies like Scrap My Car UAE will never scrap a vehicle without validating these details. This protects you from legal issues and prevents unauthorized disposal.

What You Need to Scrap a Car Without the Mulkiya in the UAE

Here are the acceptable documents and alternatives if you don’t have the registration card:

1. Emirates ID (Original or Copy)

This verifies your identity during the scrapping process.

2. Vehicle Details

Even without the Mulkiya, you must provide:

  • Chassis number (VIN)

  • Plate number (if still attached)

  • Car make, model, and year

🚨 Tip: If the plates are missing, Scrap My Car UAE can help verify the vehicle through its chassis.

3. Proof of Ownership

If the Mulkiya is lost, alternative proofs include:

  • Copy or photo of old Mulkiya (if available)

  • Purchase agreement

  • Insurance document with chassis number

  • RTA vehicle history printout

  • Police clearance in cases where documents are missing

4. Lost Document Report (If Required)

In some cases, you may need to file a lost Mulkiya report with Dubai Police or the relevant emirate authority.

Scrap My Car UAE guides customers through this step if needed.
