Dubai Driving License Now Accessible via Phone Wallet

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that Dubai residents can now add their driving license to their phone wallet, significantly simplifying document management for drivers. This new feature is available through the RTA’s official app, streamlining access to important driving documents.

However, this innovative update currently benefits only Samsung users. The RTA rolled out a new version of its app in May, designed to offer a more user-friendly experience for handling driving-related tasks.

The updated RTA app includes a personalized dashboard, enabling users to renew their Dubai driving licenses and purchase parking tickets effortlessly. This advancement is part of Dubai’s ambitious plan to become the world’s leading smart city.

Meera Al Shaikh, Director of Smart Services at RTA, commented, “The Roads and Transport Authority is committed to innovation and development, aiming to introduce initiatives that provide convenient transportation solutions for the public. This partnership highlights our ongoing efforts to utilize smart technologies and integrate essential services. Through smartphones, we will revolutionize urban mobility and progress towards a digital future, aligning with Dubai’s vision of becoming the smartest city in the world.”

Fadi Abu Shamat, Head of the Mobile Experience Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics, added, “Our collaboration with RTA continues to push boundaries in delivering cutting-edge technologies that enhance the lives of our users.”
