You appeal black points in the UAE by formally objecting to the same police authority that issued the underlying traffic violation, because black points are attached to the offence that triggered them. Under the UAE Federal Traffic Law, the Ministry of Interior and each emirate's police (for example Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Police) record points alongside fines. Start by checking your points and the specific violation through the police app or website, then file a grievance or objection against that violation, explaining why it is wrong (mistaken vehicle, sold car, sale before the date, identity error) and attaching evidence. If the violation is cancelled, its points fall away with it. Many objections move to a traffic grievance committee or, if rejected, can be escalated to the traffic court. Deadlines to object are short, so act quickly and keep copies of everything you submit. If the points threaten suspension or the facts are disputed, you can compare verified UAE legal professionals on LEXAI who handle traffic violation disputes.
