RTA has announced swapping of the current Dubai vehicle number plates with newly designed plates. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) told media that the new plates will be available from February 2018 featuring Dubai brand in color or black and white for an easy and far distance visibility.
“The new design of vehicle number plates is clear and easy to read from a distance. It is composed of three elements: the word Dubai (Brand), Number and Code,” said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA.
Al Tayyar confirmed the substitution of the current Dubai vehicle number plates with the newly structured plates in February next year.
“The replacement will be gradual and in lots according to a time chart to be announced soon. Clients interested in the (Regular) Plate bearing Dubai Brand in black color would have their vehicle plates replaced at a cost of Dh35 for short plates and Dh50 for long plates. Others opting for the colored Dubai Brand plate need to pay a fee of Dh400,” said Al Tayer.
RTA is also auctioning fresh two-code plates on December 9. There will be 10 unique single-, dual-, triple-, quadruple- and five-digit plates of Code AA namely: 7, 10, 12, 100, 333, 786, 1000, 8888, 77777 and 55555.
Al Tayer told that the dual code plates will only be given via Open Auctions.
“This new initiative underlines RTA’s keenness to satisfy the needs of customers aspiring to own distinctive number plates, especially as the stock of single-code distinctive plates is about to be exhausted,” said Al Tayer.
