Where is my
Nol Tag ID?

Confused by the numbers on your card? Learn how to find the 10-digit Tag ID required for balance checks, top-ups, and Nol Plus registration.

By Sheikh Suleman March 2026

Every Dubai Nol card has two different identification numbers. To check your balance online or via the RTA app, you must use the 10-digit Tag ID, not the longer 18-digit card number.

The Difference: Tag ID vs. Card Number

Card Number

18 Digits

Example: 0000 0000 0000 0000 00

Used for internal RTA systems and physical card identification.

Nol Tag ID

10 Digits

Example: 1234567890

This is the number you need for all online balance checks and top-ups!

Where to find it (By Card Type)

Silver / Gold Card

Reverse Side

Flip the card over. The 10-digit Nol Tag ID is printed in the bottom right corner, just below the barcode or QR code.

Personal Blue Card

Below Your Name

On personalized cards, the Tag ID is usually found on the back, printed clearly in the center or bottom left area.

10 DIGITS
Red Ticket

Near the Logo

For paper tickets (Red), look for the 10-digit number beside the RTA logo on the back side of the ticket.

ID LOCATION

NFC Shortcut (Tip)

Can\'t read the numbers? If you have an NFC-enabled smartphone, simply open the Nol Pay App and tap your card. It will tell you your Tag ID instantly!

Protect Your Numbers

Never share your 10-digit Tag ID with strangers. While it can\'t be used to steal your identity, it can be used to check your travel history if registered.
