Getting a traffic fine in Ras Al Khaimah can ruin your day. One moment you’re driving normally, next thing you know there’s a AED 500 fine on your Emirates ID or your car registration. I’ve been living and driving in RAK for years — got fined twice early on (speeding and wrong parking), paid them the hard way, and now I check regularly so it doesn’t happen again.
Here’s the full, honest guide for 2026 on RAK traffic fines — how to check if you have any, how to pay, what the common fines are, and real tips from people who drive here every day to stay fine-free.
Why RAK Fines Feel Different from Dubai or Abu Dhabi
RAK fines are usually lower than Dubai, but they still hurt — especially if you get multiple in one month. The system is run by Ras Al Khaimah Police. They use the Ministry of Interior portal or app to do this. Ras Al Khaimah Police are in charge of the system, through the Ministry of Interior portal or app.

- Using phone while driving
- Not wearing seatbelt
