Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new driver training and licensing branch in the Hatta region, expanding access to essential services for residents in the area. This marks the 27th RTA-approved driver licensing centre in the emirate.
The centre operates Sunday through Friday from 8:15 am to 11:00 pm, with a daily break from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. On Fridays, services pause for a prayer break between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm. Saturdays are reserved for registration only, running from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.
“Aimed at serving residents of Hatta and surrounding communities and developed in collaboration with Emirates Driving Institute, the new branch is designed to elevate the standard of service delivery for the local population", RTA said.
Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency, said, “The launch of the new branch reflects RTA’s commitment to addressing the needs of local communities by providing convenient access to essential driver licensing services. It also aims to ease the burden on residents who previously had to travel to Dubai or other Emirates to avail of such services".
He added, “The Hatta branch is now fully operational and provides a comprehensive range of services, including traffic file opening, theoretical and practical driver training, theoretical and practical testing, and issuing driving licences for motorcycles and light vehicles with both manual and automatic transmissions".
The new branch supports the broader strategic goals of the Dubai Government and the RTA to improve service accessibility and efficiency across all regions.
