Col Kutbi explained that it is mandatory for all registered private vehicles to obtain a CPD from the Automobile and Touring Club - UAE when travelling abroad. However, there are exceptions to some categories: such as vehicles of UAE citizens who are travelling to any of the GCC only; vehicles of GCC countries' nationals residing in the UAE who are departing to their countries and returning; and vehicles of ministries and officials leaving to any of the GCC countries.
