- Q: Where can I apply for a special/customised certificate?
- A: For special/customised certificates, you must go to Customer Happiness Centres in Deira or Umm Ramool . You can apply for this certificate, which is subject to specific provisions, to drive your vehicle outside the UAE. As the certificate isn't part of the available services on the RTA website, the centre employee writes it manually and specifies your needs.
