GulfNews reports that motorists in Dubai can now renew their driving licences online.
Al Jasem (Director of the Licensing Department at the Licensing Agency of the Dubai RTA) said that customers interested in renewing their driving licences will have to do their eye tests first and send details using the e-services on the RTA's website.
They will have to pay Dh110 as renewal fees. On receiving a complete online application, the licence will be posted to the applicant within four working days.
The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has signed an agreement with Al Jaber Optical Centre and Al Yateem Optician for conducting eye tests of applicants who apply for driving licences.
Any one applying for a new driving licence or renewing a licence can go to any shop of Al Jaber and Al Yateem opticians in Dubai to have their eyesight checked - a prerequisite to obtain a driving licence.
The eyesight test will cost Dh25. Din Raj, an administrator at Al Yateem, said that their shops have already started conducting the tests and the online service will be available within a week's time.
Customers need to bring two photographs, a passport copy or any other proof of identity. A customer can either take a certificate of the test results and submit the application in person or the optician can send the results directly to the RTA.
