Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched the final phase of Vehicle e-Registration and will start issuing electronic registration cards valid for a lifetime from 1 August onwards. The permanent registration cards come without an expiry date and will be renewed annually after completing the technical car inspection procedure. The new e-cards will replace the existing plastic registration cards issued annually.
A copy of the e-Registration (Vehicle Driving Permit) will be sent via e-mail, and will appear on the RTA app. Customers can keep the permanent registration and make a printout of the Vehicle Driving Permit sent via e-mail, and keep them in case they leave the UAE with the vehicle. The Ministry of Interior has officially communicated with local and foreign entities regarding this. Details of the Vehicle Driving Permit can be verified through the link stated on the permit, which can be printed free of charge from the RTA portal.
The move is part of RTA’s gradual electronic transformation of all services.
“The service aims to save the time and effort of customers through enabling them to issue e-Registration using smart means to make them happier. The service is accessible through RTA Dubai App, Dubai Drive App and RTA Website (www.rta.ae),” said Sultan Al Marzouqi, Director of Vehicles Licensing at RTA’s Licensing Agency.
“The e-Registration process is an environment-friendly product as it limits the use of environmentally harmful materials such as the polyethene and its plastic derivatives. RTA is always keen on matching the Dubai Government drive in bringing happiness to clients that ranks among RTA’s top priorities,” he concluded.
