" Driving licences can be obtained from all emirates as of next month"
UAE residents will soon be able to obtain driving licences from any emirate once the new Federal Traffic Law takes effect on March 1, Gulf News has learnt.

"The new law will make it possible for a licence holder to renew or apply for a licence in any emirate regardless of the emirate that issued his residence visa. It means a person with Abu Dhabi visa can renew his/her licence in Dubai without any hassles and vice versa," said a police official who did not want to be identified.

According to the present rules, a person can only apply for a driver's licence in the emirate from where his/her visa has been issued.

"It is a reality that many people who have visas from one emirate work in another emirate. Currently some professionals like bank personnel are allowed to apply anywhere. It is being discussed if this should be opened to all regardless of their profession," the official said.
