MARQAM is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the UAE Government, RTA, any police authority, vehicle registration authority or other government entity.
Plate visuals shown on MARQAM are marketplace illustrations only and are not official registration documents.
2. What MARQAM does
MARQAM does not own the plates, act as buyer or seller, collect the purchase price of a plate, guarantee ownership, or complete plate transfers.
Any sale and official transfer is arranged directly between buyer and seller and must be completed through the appropriate UAE authority.
3. Accounts
Users are responsible for activity performed through their account.
MARQAM may restrict or suspend accounts where fraud, abuse, misleading activity, unauthorised access or violation of these Terms is suspected.

- listing details and asking price are accurate;
- the listing is not fraudulent, misleading or unlawful;

MARQAM may edit, hide, suspend or remove inaccurate, duplicated, fraudulent, unlawful or inappropriate listings.
5. Buyer responsibilities

6. Asking prices and transactions
MARQAM does not guarantee market value, buyer interest, sale completion or the availability of any listing.

7. Listing promotions
MARQAM currently offers optional advertising promotions:
- Featured — AED 49 for 7 days
- Premium — AED 99 for 30 days
Promotion payments are for increased advertising exposure only and never represent payment for the plate itself.

A paid promotion activates only after payment is successfully verified.
After expiry, the listing returns to Standard unless another promotion is purchased.
Featured includes 1 Instagram Story and inclusion in 1 grouped Instagram feed post. Premium includes 1 dedicated Instagram feed post, 2 Instagram Stories on separate dates and placement in the AVAILABLE Highlight for up to 30 days while the listing remains available. Standard listings may occasionally appear in Story roundups at MARQAM's discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
Instagram features are organic promotions on MARQAM's official Instagram account (@marqam.ae). Paid Instagram advertising is not included. Promotions do not guarantee enquiries or sales.
By listing, you allow MARQAM to display the plate number, code and listing details in promotional content. Private seller information is never shown.
