Dubai police car repainting permission paper

[Gaurav]

As I got one of my car repainted recently, there was big hassle to get the Dubai Police permission paper for car repainting. After wasting two days in traffic hours coz of wrong information from official and unofficial channels, I like to list all of them below to help everyone here:

• You can't get that permission paper from any Dubai Police Station (Don't waste time)
• You can't get that permission paper from Dubai Police Headquarters (next to Al Mulla Plaza)
• You only get this permission from Dubai Police vehicle confiscated yard, next to Tasjeel Qusais, I think it's a CID department
• GPS Coordinate for this place: https://goo.gl/maps/t8hv6s7f9Rv (No pics allowed)
• Their timing is from 7 am to 1 pm only
• It cost 120 dhs and not 50 dhs
• You don't need paper if keeping same color and getting car painted in Dubai
• You do need paper even if keeping same color but getting car painted in Sharjah (that was my case)
• You do need paper if you change color and getting car painted in any emirates

Well I'm really not sure about exact requirement, but in my case I have send my wife and they have taken her emirates ID copy and car registration card copy to issue that permission paper.

Wholly crap, but thanks for updating this Richard.

Appreciate if you can please update the actual new place, once you get the paper.
