22 Jan January 22, 2018 The Roads and Transport Authority has launched the ‘Vehicle Condition Certificate’ service as part of its initiatives aimed at bringing happiness to local customers. The service provides clients with essential detailed historical information about the vehicle available with the RTA about the vehicle condition such as the distance covered in kilometres, type & validity of insurance, impounding, type of vehicle, owner and condition during annual testing, and other relevant information to help clients avoid fraudulent cases. Such information can only be released upon the consent of the owner, which has to be confirmed to the RTA through a text message including a Pin Code. Upon fulfilling this requirement, the customer can avail the service by entering the chassis number of the used vehicle through RTA website. The RTA will then inform the customer about the possibility of getting the vehicle details from the RTA for a fee of 100 dirhams per certificate. “The service also covers imported used vehicles, thanks to an online link with some international firms such as the American CARFAX and the European AUTO DNA for providing information about vehicles exported to the UAE from American, European and Asian countries. However, the RTA is not concerned with details of some vehicles which might not be available,” said Sultan Al Marzooqi, Director of Vehicles Licensing, Licensing Agency, RTA Source: KT
