Residents in the UAE can now easily transfer foreign driving licenses and obtain traffic fines clearance certificates online, thanks to the Ministry of Interior’s latest initiative. Announced on 7 October, this move is part of the government’s efforts to simplify procedures and reduce bureaucracy in vehicle and driving license matters.
The new online services aim to make the process more efficient and user-friendly, enabling residents to access essential services from the comfort of their homes.
The Ministry’s initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy to enhance government services through digital transformation. This includes making services such as traffic fines clearance and driving license transfers accessible online, thereby eliminating the need for in-person visits. The new service allows motorists to quickly replace foreign-issued driving licenses with UAE ones and settle any outstanding traffic fines through a user-friendly online platform.
The UAE has continually introduced digital solutions to make life easier for residents. Previous initiatives, such as online visa renewals and e-residency permits, have significantly improved service accessibility. These new vehicle-related services continue that trend, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to achieving a zero-bureaucracy government model.
According to industry experts, the UAE’s digital-first approach has significantly reduced administrative burdens for residents and businesses alike. “The shift to online services is a game-changer for expats and citizens, especially in sectors like transport and documentation,” commented a local transport consultant. “By digitising services, the UAE government is setting a benchmark for other countries in the region.”
Residents can access these services via the Ministry of Interior’s official website or mobile app, ensuring swift traffic fine clearance and seamless driving license transfers.
