FAQs
- Q: If I have more than one category on my Driving Licence which has expired more than 10 years ago, do I have to take one Evaluation Test for all categories, or a final Road Test for each category?
- A: You must take one Evaluation Test for the light vehicle category. When you pass the test, all the categories will be included in the licence, and there's no need to take all the tests.

- A: No, holders of driving licences from exception countries, regardless of their nationality, are exempted from the Evaluation Test when renewing their Dubai Driving Licence.
- Q: Am I allowed to undergo the driving tests while wearing shorts or inappropriate clothes?
- A: According to RTA rules and procedures, you must adhere to modest dress when visiting government agencies, out of respect and appreciation for government laws.
