Overview of Sharjah police station services

Core services in any Sharjah police station, including Al Wasit, include traffic and licensing, police complaints and reports, certificate issuance, emergency response, and security compliance for residential and commercial properties.
Digital services and e-service platforms
To reduce processing times and physical visits, Sharjah Police operates a verified digital ecosystem supported by federal and emirate-level platforms.
Sharjah Police services are officially accessible through:
- The Sharjah Police website for traffic, certificates, and police services
- The MOI UAE App, which functions as a smart police station on mobile
- The Sahl app and Sahl self-service kiosks for selected transactions
- Cross-emirate integrations, including Dubai Now for traffic fine payments
All sensitive services require a secure login using UAE Pass.
Smart police station services via the MOI UAE app
The MOI UAE app provides access to police services without visiting a station. Verified services include traffic accident reporting, criminal and financial incident reports, lost item submissions, missing person reports, and certificate requests.
E-Police in Your Mobile (confirmed service)
The E-Police in Your Mobile feature within the MOI UAE app is the official channel for reporting minor incidents and filing criminal complaints remotely. This service is widely used for non-urgent police reports and follow-ups.
Traffic and licensing services in Sharjah
Traffic and vehicle services remain among the most frequently used Sharjah Police functions. Fines can be checked and paid through multiple verified methods:
- Sharjah Police website or mobile services
- MOI UAE app
- Sahl kiosks and digital platforms
- Dubai Now app for cross-emirate users
Payments can be completed using credit or debit cards, subject to fine status.
Traffic fine discount scheme in Sharjah
Sharjah applies a permanent traffic fine discount policy designed to encourage early settlement of violations. Motorists receive a 35% discount when traffic fines are paid within 60 days of the violation date. If payment is made after 60 days but within one year, a 25% discount still applies.
It is important to note that this discount does not apply to serious violations, such as racing, endangering lives, or major vehicle modifications. Discount eligibility is determined automatically based on violation type and payment timing.
Black points and non-payable fines
Certain traffic violations in Sharjah carry black points and are classified as non-payable fines.
Official protocol requires users to first transfer black points to a valid driving licence via the MOI UAE app. Once the points are assigned, the fine is unlocked and can then be paid digitally.
Traffic fine objection process
Drivers who believe a fine was issued incorrectly have 15 days from notification to submit an objection.
Users can track the status of disputed traffic fines in real time through the MOI UAE app. Supporting evidence, such as photos or witness statements, must be submitted at the time of objection.

Police complaints create an official legal record and initiate investigation procedures. Complaints may be filed by individuals or companies, directly or through authorised representatives.
Typical complaint types include defamation and online abuse, traffic accidents involving damage or injury, lost official documents, domestic violence cases, and cybercrime reports submitted through designated portals.

Security and CCTV compliance in Sharjah
For certain commercial activities, CCTV compliance is managed through the Hemaya security system, which standardises surveillance requirements across Sharjah.
