The UAE is among the most visited areas of the globe. Every year, thousands of individuals relocate to Dubai in search of work, and the majority of them prefer to use cars to go around the metropolis. The UAE works to give its citizens and travelers a better, more relaxing, and safer living. Not only is registering your vehicle crucial but obtaining a license is also insufficient.

Therefore, the government has mandated the annual roadworthiness test for every vehicle that is more than 3 years old in order to assure the highest level of road safety in the emirate. 

Before they are permitted to drive on the road, this is done to check for any flaws. Are you unsure of how to test your car? All cars in Dubai are required to undergo yearly safety inspections from accredited vehicle testing facilities in Dubai, regardless of whether you intend to sell your car or just want to renew your registration. 

Your automobile or motorcycle can be registered by a Road and Transport Authority (RTA) Customer Center or by a recognized testing institution once it has passed the necessary inspections. It offers consumers round-the-clock car registration services. RTA has established numerous Vehicle Testing Centers (VTC) throughout Dubai for this purpose. For instance, there are four centers in Dubai to make this easier for drivers.
