How to Personalise Silver Nol Card in Dubai
Upgrading your Silver Nol Card Dubai by linking it to your Emirates ID unlocks a range of valuable benefits. You earn double loyalty points, enjoy discounts, and even recover your balance if the card gets lost or stolen. Thanks to the Road and Transport Authority (RTA), the process only takes a few minutes through the ‘nol Pay’ app.
Why Upgrade Your Nol Card
When you personalise your silver or gold Nol card, you automatically join RTA’s Nol Plus loyalty programme. Unlike unregistered users who must spend Dh2 to earn a point, registered cardholders only spend Dh1 per point. As a result, you accumulate rewards faster.
These loyalty points can then be redeemed for:
- Shopping vouchers and discounts at restaurants, hotels, and attractions.
- Top-ups for your own Nol card or a friend’s card.
- Exclusive promotions available only to personalised cardholders.
Another clear advantage is balance protection. Once you report a card as lost or stolen, RTA blocks it within 48 hours. The remaining balance then moves to your replacement card automatically, ensuring your money stays safe.

Recovering Balance from Lost or Stolen Cards
Losing a card doesn’t mean losing your balance if you act quickly. Call RTA customer service at 800 90 90 immediately to report the loss. The team blocks the card within 48 hours, and you can then apply for a refund.
Here’s the process:
- Visit the official RTA Nol refund page.
- Enter your Nol tag ID and Emirates ID number.
- Choose the reason for replacement – lost, stolen, or expired.
- Add your PIN code and personal details.
- Confirm the application and pay the fee.
RTA issues a new personalised Nol card within four days, and your balance transfers automatically to it. The replacement card is delivered to your home, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
Cost of Service
The one-time cost of personalising a Silver Nol Card Dubai is just Dh30. For that price, you gain peace of mind with balance recovery, earn loyalty rewards faster, and unlock exclusive discounts.
By upgrading your Nol card, you ensure both financial security and more everyday value. With so many residents depending on Nol for commuting, shopping, and leisure, personalising the card is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make in Dubai.
