The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has said it has opened the door for the licensing of new technical vehicle testing and registrations centres in three key locations across Dubai. The step creates new investment opportunities, enabling existing centres and investors seeking to enter the sector to submit applications to establish new centres or open additional branches.
The three locations outlined were Deira, Bur Dubai, and Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with the new centres expected to align with approved regulatory standards and requirements.
According to the RTA, the step aims to expand the network of service centres through which RTA delivers vehicle testing and registration services, bringing them closer to residents throughout the emirate.
It also responds to rapid urban and population growth, along with the expansion of commercial and investment activities across Dubai’s sectors, while ensuring the sustainable and efficient delivery of vehicle licensing services, the RTA noted.
The initiative is said to aligns with the RTA’s strategy to strengthen public-private partnerships, aimed at driving economic growth in the emirate, expanding private sector participation in infrastructure development and service delivery, and continuously adopting global best practices in this partnership.
The RTA said that it will provide the necessary support to new investors in evaluating their applications, in line with relevant legislation and policies, to strengthen private sector participation in the development of vehicle testing and registration services, enhance the efficiency of inspection processes, and improve road safety within the community.
This expansion also further advances the RTA’s efforts to develop an integrated infrastructure for vehicle testing and licensing services, in line with Dubai’s plans to enhance road safety, improve mobility across the city, and elevate the quality of services provided to residents.
In a statement the RTA said that the number of approved service provider centres for vehicle testing and licensing in Dubai has reached 29, distributed across the emirate. These centres are equipped with advanced technologies and qualified personnel to ensure the delivery of high-quality services that meet customer needs in line with the highest international standards, while offering a seamless service experience aligned with Dubai’s direction towards streamlined procedures and enhanced government service efficiency.
