Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Transferring a car registered in Sharjah to someone without a driving license may be challenging. While both parties must be UAE residents, most Emirates require the new owner to have a valid UAE driving license for vehicle ownership transfer.

Typically, the buyer needs to provide a copy of their license as part of the process. However, specific rules for Sharjah aren't definitively stated in the search results.

For accurate information, it's best to contact the Sharjah Traffic and Licensing Department directly. Consider having the potential buyer obtain a license before proceeding or explore alternatives like transferring to a family member with a license.

Always verify current requirements with official sources for the most up-to-date information.

You can contact us via WhatsApp for further clarification or additional support. We are dedicated to providing professional, timely, and comprehensive assistance tailored to your situation.

Thank you!

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the transfer of your car registration in Sharjah.

In the UAE, the transfer of ownership of a vehicle is typically allowed between individuals, but there are certain requirements that must be met.

One key requirement is that the person receiving the car must have a valid Emirates ID and a driving license.

However, if the recipient does not yet have a driving license, they can still be the recipient of the car, but they may not be able to complete the registration process in their name until they obtain a valid license.

I recommend that we discuss the details of your case further to ensure that all legal requirements are met, and to guide you through the process smoothly.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or email at [----------]. I’ll be happy to assist you in resolving this matter.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana
