UAE unified driving license and registration |
This month sees the introduction of the new UAE nationwide driving license and car registration regulations. Here’s what it means to you Characteristics The new cards are not just uniform in appearance, but come with enhanced security features (notably a hologram label and UV tagging) to help detect fake or altered cards. More importantly, these cards are linked to the Roads and Transport Authority, which will allow the government to collect traffic fines incurred in any of the seven Emirates at the time of renewal, rather than only the one in which the car or driver is registered. The new Injaz cards are also currently linked with thirteen insurance companies including Al Ain Al Ahlia insurance, Al Dhafra, Takafal, Emirates Insurance, and Abu Dhabi National Insurance. When people approach insurance companies to insure their vehicles the data entered will automatically be available electronically to the traffic departments. The goal is that the Injaz cards will eventually be linked with all the insurance companies in the UAE. If you already have a driving license and your car is already registered, you don’t need to switch to the new cards. Instead, you’ll automatically go into the Injaz system when you renew. The process and documents needed to obtain or renew both license and registration are the same as before. For guidelines, check out the government website at www.abudhabi.ae. All seven Emirates will eventually participate in the Injaz system; at the time of writing, however, Dubai was not yet online. Keep an eye on local news sources
