Most expatriates in Dubai have a driving license at the top of their to-do lists. And the process to obtain a license also starts online in a city where mobile services are as good as they are in Dubai. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) already shared the steps for residents to get a driving license online.

Without a valid driving license, you are not permitted to drive in the UAE. Attempting to drive any vehicle without a license is a major offense, so if you live there without one, you may be subject to legal action. We also suggest you grab motor insurance in Dubai to save your financial stability against third-party liability claims. You can protect your vehicle from loss or damage with comprehensive insurance options at policyhouse.com. Confirm your car insurance in Dubai with exciting vouchers.
