RTA reduces vehicle licencing services by 74%
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has consolidated vehicle licencing services, reducing the total number from 54 to 14 services, resulting in a drop of 74%.
This step is part of the ongoing efforts to provide a unified and integrated digital experience that is seamless, secure, and focused on enhancing customer happiness.
It aligns with the Government of Dubai's drive to deliver public services that meet customer expectations and improve the quality of life across the emirate.
Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the Licencing Agency at RTA, stated, 'This step is part of the '360 Comprehensive Services' plan – a new, integrated vision built on a holistic methodology that targets key areas and efficiently supports Dubai's strategic goals of delivering seamless, proactive, and personalised services that meet rising expectations and evolving needs. The initiative also aligns with the rollout of multiple services via the unified 'Dubai Now' app, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring greater integration with other government platforms.'
'The RTA remains committed to realising its vision and mission of establishing Dubai as a global leader in smart road and transport systems, and a benchmark for seamless, sustainable, and innovative mobility. This also aligns with efforts to elevate Dubai's standing in government service excellence and advance its ambition to become the world's most digitally advanced city,' Mahboob said.
He added: 'The integration of services represents a positive advancement that has enabled the reengineering of vehicle licensing procedures. This approach simplifies the customer journey, reduces the number of steps and physical visits required, and shortens processing times. It reflects a firm commitment to raising service standards for both individual and corporate clients in line with top international benchmarks.
'The integration also supports the strategy to advance smart systems and solutions by delivering enhanced services, streamlining procedures, and improving both operational efficiency and sustainability in service delivery.'
The initiative is based on the adoption of advanced technologies and the integration of data with local and federal entities, aimed at enhancing licencing services and reducing procedural steps and requirements.
Electronic signature functionality has been introduced through the UAE Pass digital identity, allowing access to all RTA services through a unified platform that serves vehicle owners, drivers, and public transport users.

RTA Cuts Vehicle Licensing Services by 74% to Streamline Customer Experience
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has reduced its vehicle licensing services from 54 to just 14, marking a 74% drop as part of a major digital transformation initiative aimed at enhancing customer experience and service efficiency. The move is part of the RTA's '360 Comprehensive Services' plan, which seeks to unify and simplify public services through a holistic, tech-driven approach. The goal is to deliver faster, more seamless, and personalized services in line with Dubai's vision to become the world's most digitally advanced city. Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the RTA's Licensing Agency, said the overhaul aligns with broader government strategies to elevate Dubai's service excellence. 'The integration reengineers licensing procedures, reduces physical visits, shortens processing times, and supports smart mobility,' he noted. Key features of the transformation include the consolidation of services through the 'Dubai Now' app and the adoption of the UAE Pass for secure, unified digital access. One notable improvement is the Request for Vehicle Registration Certificate, which previously required 13 separate service steps but is now processed through a single, streamlined transaction. Six export and transfer-related services have also been merged under one unified category, 'Vehicle Registration Cancellation,' while service titles across the platform have been revised for clarity. By integrating with local and federal entities and adopting advanced technologies, the RTA aims to improve operational sustainability, efficiency, and the overall quality of life for both individual and corporate users. The initiative reinforces Dubai's ambition to set global benchmarks in smart transport and public service delivery. News Source: Emirates News Agency
