At‑a‑Glance Checklist
- Valid UAE‑issued photo ID (Emirates ID or equivalent)
- Car keys (include spares and key fobs)
- Service history book (if available)
- All in‑car accessories (e.g., stereo faceplates, remote controls)
- Letter of authorization + owner’s ID (only if you are selling on someone else’s behalf)
1. Emirates ID or Other UAE Government‑Issued ID
The cornerstone of any vehicle sale in the UAE is identity verification. We The Car Buyers accepts an Emirates ID or any other valid government‑issued photo ID. Their team checks the document’s authenticity, confirms the name against the car’s records, and then attaches a copy to the purchase agreement. Having your ID ready:- Confirms legal ownership (or authorized representation).
- Prevents delays in drafting the sales contract.
- Protects both parties by ensuring the buyer pays the rightful owner.
2. Car Keys (and All Accessories That Came with Them)
Once you accept the offer, We The Car Buyers takes possession of the vehicle immediately, so they need every key—main, spare, and remote. Handing over the full set:- Demonstrates that the car is free of pending liabilities (no hidden spare keys).
- Preserves vehicle security for the new owner.
- Prevents follow‑up visits to retrieve missing fobs, saving everyone time.
3. Service History Book
Although not strictly mandatory, bringing the service history book can boost buyer confidence and streamline your valuation. The inspectors at We The Car Buyers flip through the stamped pages to verify past maintenance, mileage consistency, and any major repairs. The benefits are two‑fold:- Faster, more accurate price offer – documented care often secures a stronger valuation.
- Reduced back‑and‑forth – no need for extra questions about missed services or unknown repairs.
4. In‑Car Accessories and Extras
Did your vehicle come with a removable stereo faceplate, Bluetooth remote, or infotainment SD card? We The Car Buyers asks that you bundle every factory‑supplied accessory with the keys. Including these items:- Confirms the car is complete and in original condition.
- Prevents deductions for missing hardware.
- Speeds up final approval once the inspection finishes.
5. Letter of Authorization (If You Are Selling for Someone Else)
Need to sell a family member’s or company vehicle? Bring a signed letter of authorization plus a copy of the owner’s UAE ID, along with your own ID. The authorization proves you have the legal right to conclude the sale and receive payment. Without it, the transaction cannot proceed under UAE consumer‑protection guidelines. What the letter should include (per We The Car Buyers instructions):- Full names and IDs of both the owner and the authorized seller.
- Vehicle details (make, model, year, VIN or chassis number).
- A clear statement granting permission to negotiate and finalize the sale.
- Owner’s signature and date.
