For most policies an insurer asks for your Emirates ID, your UAE driving licence, and the vehicle registration card (Mulkiya). A no-claim certificate from your previous insurer is added where you are claiming a discount for a clean record.
In more detail
For a brand-new car there is no Mulkiya yet, so the insurer works from the showroom sales invoice and the chassis number. Send that invoice to your advisor as soon as it is issued so the certificate is ready before collection day.
For an imported or Non-GCC vehicle the insurer will usually also want the import or customs documentation and confirmation of the specification, because acceptance depends on it.
Conditions and exceptions
- Individual insurers may request a passport and visa page, a copy of the previous policy, or photographs of the vehicle.
- Documents must be clear and current; an expired licence or Emirates ID will hold up issuance.
