  1. Hi, highly appreciated very informative. but i have a question. i open file online tru TAMM app. and is under process. didnt pay yet. so i am confused if i need to register or open file in Abu dhabi police website? or i need to wait for the reply from TAMM app. please guide me. thank you.

    1. Hi,
      No need of waiting. Your file will be opened only after paying the fee. Go to Tamm application and pay the fee or go to Abu Dhabi police website and pay the fees. Both are same only.
      If you need further explanation, Please let us know.
      Thanks for contacting us.
