Sharjah Vehicle Testing Centres: Tasjeel and ADNOC Locations

Sharjah testing options include Tasjeel and inspection-enabled ADNOC sites, with Tasjeel locations in Al Dhaid and Khor Fakkan as well as Sharjah city. Licensing runs through the federal Ministry of Interior (MOI) system. MOI's published fee for a light-vehicle test is AED 150, and a retest is AED 50.

Primary sources checked: 18 October 2026. Fees and conditions come from MOI's Vehicle Technical Inspection and Vehicle Ownership Renewal services. Check the source notes on the chosen branch page for address, service and timetable limitations.

Sharjah testing at a glance

  • Licensing system: federal MOI, through the MOI app, website, service centres or self-service machines.
  • Test fees: AED 150 for a private light vehicle, AED 100 for a motorcycle and AED 200 for vehicles over 3 tonnes. A retest is AED 50 for any category.
  • What MOI asks for at the test: the vehicle ownership (registration) card and ID.
  • Renewal: AED 350 for a light vehicle, with 13 months of insurance and all dues paid.
  • New cars: exempt from inspection for three years. MOI's renewal service counts from the year of manufacture; its inspection service counts from the date of licensing.

Choosing a centre

In Sharjah city, compare Tasjeel's Sharjah Auto Village, Abu Shagara and Al Rahmania Mall with ADNOC at Al Taawun and Al Mirqab. Outside the city, Tasjeel's locator names Al Dhaid and Khor Fakkan. At Al Rahmania Mall, the tenant listing places Tasjeel in the basement near Entrance C and Basement Parking C. MOI does not publish an appointment rule for testing, so check the branch's hours and the services it offers before you travel, especially for a motorcycle, heavy vehicle or export test.

Branch information checked on 19 October 2026 using Tasjeel's locator, ADNOC's inspection filter and Rahmania Mall's tenant listing. No current ADNOC Industrial Area 12 or Shamil Al Ihsan inspection identity was established.

After the test: renewal

Renew in the MOI app or website with UAE PASS once the test result and the 13-month insurance are on the system. The Sharjah renewal guide covers the steps, company-vehicle rules and the fee table. A car registered in Dubai follows RTA's rules even if you live in Sharjah; see the Dubai renewal guide.

Before you go

  • Bring the vehicle, the registration card and your Emirates ID.
  • Settle outstanding fines; MOI requires all dues to be paid before renewal.
  • Check lights, tyres, warning lamps and leaks with the pre-test checklist.

Sharjah testing FAQ

How much is a car test in Sharjah?

MOI lists AED 150 for a private light vehicle and AED 50 for a retest. Renewal is a separate AED 350. See test fees by emirate for comparisons with Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Is the test cheaper in Sharjah than in Dubai?

Yes, by AED 20. Dubai adds a Knowledge and Innovation fee to the same AED 150 base, making AED 170. Before choosing a centre on price, check that it handles your vehicle's registration and the service you need.
