Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has implemented a new online booking system to eliminate the long queues for vehicle testing that residents have faced. Starting June 2, 2025, all annual technical inspections require appointments to be booked online. While walk-ins remain an option, they incur an additional service fee of Dh100.
Key Features of the New System
- Mandatory Online Booking: Vehicle owners must schedule their technical inspection appointments via the RTA website or app.
- Walk-ins with Additional Fee: Walk-in visitors can still access testing but must pay an extra Dh100 service charge.
- Time Efficiency: The system is designed to reduce waiting times, speeding up the inspection process.
- Convenience: Users can select a preferred testing time slot, avoiding overcrowding at test centers.
Benefits to Residents and the Community
This move aligns with Dubai’s broader goal of enhancing public services through technology as part of its smart city vision. Some of the notable benefits are:
- Improved Road Safety: Streamlined vehicle inspections contribute toward safer roads.
- Enhanced Service Delivery: Both vehicle owners and RTA staff experience more efficient operations.
- Reduced Crowding: The online system minimizes queues at test centers, making the experience smoother for everyone involved.
- Encouragement of Digital Adoption: The additional fee for walk-ins motivates residents to embrace the new digital platform.
Residents are urged to use the online booking platform to enjoy these benefits and help Dubai continue its journey towards innovative and efficient public services. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for further updates on transportation and other developments in Dubai.
