RTA - Manal Khaled: RTA's Licensing Agency has launched an initiative for the automatic downloading of approvals and No Objection Certificates in coordination with a host of public and private entities. The entities are Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dubai Police (Department of Protective Systems), Civil Aviation, Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority (DTMFZA), Emirates Authority for Standardization & Metrology (ESMA), Oilfields Supply Center Ltd, and the Automobile & Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE).

"RTA is always seeking to improve on its public service offering to bring it to the highest standard possible, and this initiative is intended to make life easy for people in processing their transaction with the least effort & time; which would surely bring them more happiness," said Sultan Al Marzooki, Director of Vehicles Licensing at RTA Licensing Agency. "The initiative would totally eliminate the need for paper documents and contribute to the fruition of the Dubai Government's vision of reducing the number of visitors of service centers in 2018 by as much as 80%," he added.

The gathering explained the three systems involved in the issuance of the NOC such that each entity can select the most suitable solution for processing its transactions in future i.e. the Trusted Agents, Integration (System-to-System), or Priorities in the Traffic System.
