“The launch of the new branch reflects RTA’s commitment to addressing the needs of local communities by providing convenient access to essential driver licensing services. It also aims to ease the burden on residents who previously had to travel to Dubai or other Emirates to avail of such services,” said Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency.
He added, “The Hatta branch is now fully operational and provides a comprehensive range of services, including traffic file opening, theoretical and practical driver training, theoretical and practical testing, and issuing driving licences for motorcycles and light vehicles with both manual and automatic transmissions.”
With its launch, the branch becomes the 27th RTA-approved driver licensing centre in Dubai, representing a valuable addition to the city’s driver training infrastructure. This initiative aligns with the strategic direction of both the Dubai Government and the RTA to simplify and enhance service delivery for residents of the region.”
