When can a warrant be lifted?

Where the case has been settled or withdrawn in a case where that matters, where the basis is challenged or where the person attends and the authority is satisfied.

Each route has its own conditions, and we check which are open.

What do we do to cancel a warrant?

We identify the issuing authority, review the basis, prepare the application and, if needed, arrange an attendance that protects you.

We aim to avoid arrest on attendance.

What about travel?

A warrant can affect travel, so lifting it is often urgent.

We deal with any related travel ban in the same plan.

What should I do first?

  1. Confirm the warrant details

    Issuing authority, date and case.

  2. Decide the route

    Settlement, challenge or attendance.

  3. Prepare documents

    Proof supporting the application.

  4. Time any attendance with us

    Do not attend alone.

Call us on +971 50 653 1334 or message us on WhatsApp. We answer at any hour.

Frequently asked questions

Does paying a complainant cancel a warrant?

Not on its own. Where a settlement is available, the authority must still lift it, and we manage that.

How long does cancellation take?

It depends on the authority and the route. We give you a realistic expectation at the start.
