“Eyesight testing is a key requirement of renewing the driving licence. The client is required to visit one of the approved optical centres in Dubai to undergo eyesight testing,” said Ahmed Mahboub, executive director, drivers licensing, licensing agency at RTA. “Upon clearing the test, the driving licence will be issued or renewed through the available channels. The licence will be printed or delivered to the client, depending on the type of channel and the preference selected.”

The service will initially be provided from 8am to 8pm, and will be extended round the clock from the start of next year.

“Through this initiative, RTA seeks to play a pioneering role in delivering government services that respond to the needs of clients,” concluded Mahboub.
