Abu Dhabi - The 1st Experince

Hello Expats, I am pleased to share my first few months experience in UAE, especially Abu Dhabi with
you. As like anyone, I use internet to search the details about, Obtaining Residence Visa, Driving
License, Emirates ID, Transportation, Bus & Taxi Services, etc. But what I found was, either the newest
details are at least 6 months old; and most of the other details are a year or two old. Hence, I thought
about providing you the current information as I go through everything.

V iew my complete profile

Submitting the initial application for obtaining the UAE driv ing license is called “File
Opening”. I know there are sev eral websites claims that y ou can open the file at Muroor
Traffic Police. Ev en the AD Police website say s so. But my ex perience was against this. When I
went to open the file in Muroor Traffic Police, I was told that only ladies can open the file
there, and gents hav e to go to AD Driv ing Company in Mussafa.
Getting to Muroor T raffic Police
If y ou are a lady and if y ou want to open the file in Muroor Traffic Police, its ex actly in the
Street 27 between Muroor Road (also referred to as Street 4 / E Road / New Airport Road)
and Old Airport Road (also referred to as Street 2 /Shaiek Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum
abudhabi-expats.blogspot.ae/2011/04/how-to-obtain-driving-license-in-abu.html 1/25
Street) in Muroor area. Y ou can reach here easily by tax i. If y ou want to reach by bus, router
no 32 & 52 buses goes through Street 2 and route no 34, 54 & 56 goes through Street 4;
whereas route no 44 goes through street 27 (v ery long route).
Getting to Abu Dhabi Driv ing School / Com pany in Mussafa
Y ou can reach AD Driv ing Company in Mussafa by metered tax i, shared tax i or route Bus.
Metered tax i from city centre (TCA) will easily cost 50AED (I hav en’t tried it) and will take
30minues. If y ou could get a shared tax i (the old tax ies) they will charge 5AED or 1 0 AED. But
shared tax i is not a suitable option for ladies.
The cheapest way to get to AD Driv ing Company is using bus – route no 1 1 6. The route no 1 1 6
starts from Kalifa Street (Street 3) and y ou could get this bus any where in Street 4 or AD
Central Bus Station. The fare is 2AED fix ed price and it will drop y ou right before the AD
Driv ing Company . The journey time is approx 45 minutes to 1 hour. There is bus serv ice from
6am to 1 1 pm ev ery 30minutes.
Opening a file
Once y ou reach the Abu Ddhabi Driv ing School building, y ou could see there is an
Information Desk straight ahead, and it is surrounded by more than 1 0 counters to serv e
people. Y ou don’t need to go to any of these initially . On y our right side, y ou could see the
sign board for “Traffic Section”. Follow the sign and turn at the 1 st right corridor. Y ou will
reach the File Opening section for Gents and Ladies which are two separate rooms. As soon as
y ou reach the room, y ou will find a help desk where y ou will be checked by the staffs whether
y ou hav e the right documents.
Keep the following documents in y our hand.
Copy of the passport information page

Copy of the UAE Residency V isa Page
1 x Passport size photos
No Objection letter from y our company (Needs to in Arabic. Y ou can get it from
y our HR)
Copy of y our Emirates ID card. If y ou don’t hav e it y et, y ou can prov ide a
photocopy of y our Emirates ID application form. Y ou hav e to prov ide the copy ,
not the original as this will not be returned to y ou.
In case y ou hav e y our home country driv ing license (plastic card), Arabic
translation of y our home country driv ing license.
Home country Driv ing License - plastic card (for v erification purpose)
Note: Y ou do not need any International Driv ing License from y our country . They will check
for the home country driv ing license which is the plastic card. The Arabic translation doesn’t
needs to be authorised by y our embassy ev en. Just a plain Arabic translation is enough.
Once y ou giv e all these to them, they will check and v erify ev ery thing and send y ou for ey e
test, which is in the adjacent room. Y ou will find a lady sitting ov er there. Y ou will be asked to
read different size of alphabets and numbers on the wall using both ey es separately . Then she
will show y ou some A4 sheets which consist of numbers. Each A4 sheets consists one number
written using small hex agons in different colour hex agons as background. Y ou hav e to
identify it. Once it’s done, she will charge y ou 20AED and giv e a paper which say s y ou are fit
for y our driv ing. Take this paper to the help desk people again and show it to them. They will
giv e y ou a token / number which y ou hav e to take it to the room which is behind the help
desk. Wait for y our number to be called patiently .
When y our number is called, go to the counter and giv e y our documents with the ey e test
results. They will check all y our documents again. Once all the documents are checked, they
will take a photograph of y ou. This photograph will be used in y our Driv ing License. Y ou will
be charged 1 00AED as the processing fee. Once this is done, y ou will be giv en two identical
sheets of “Driv ers Test Appointment” which y ou hav e to keep it with y ou until y ou obtain the
Driv ing License. Y ou will be asked to wait for few minutes until y our trainee driv ing license
card is printed out. Once it is done, collect it from them and go to the Information Desk which
is at the entrance of the building.
Booking for T heory Classes / Orientation Course
Tell them that y ou hav e opened y our file and y ou want to register for the theory classes. They
will giv e y ou an application form to be hand filled. Y ou hav e to enter y our personal details
and other details such as, ty pe of license (light v ehicle, etc), manual/automatic, language, etc.
Fill it carefully .
Before turn back to submit the application form, y ou need to take a photocopy of the trainee
license card and the Driv ers Test Appointment sheet. There is a photocopy machine av ailable
in the right side corridor where y ou hav e to do it by y ourself. It’s a coin operated machine
each copy is 1 AED. So, hav e some coins with y ou by -hand.
Note: Y ou might need to keep a blank A4 sheet behind y our plastic card to make a copy .
Otherwise it won’t work.
Y ou need the following documents to be submitted with the application form.
Copy of the passport information page

Copy of the UAE Residency V isa Page
Copy of Trainee license
Copy of Driv ers Test Appointment sheet
2 x Passport size photos
Upon v erification of the documents, y ou will be giv en another token/number. Take it and
wait patiently . Once y our number is called, go to the counter and submit the documents. Y ou
will be charged 7 80 AED as the course fee and 50 AED as the Theory ex am fees. Y ou will be
also giv en a theory lesson hand book.
Now, the number of theory classes v ary depends on the profession mentioned in y our UAE
V isa. By default, its 8 classes (4 day s). There are 1 and 2 day courses also. Y ou may ask them
whether there is any speed course so y ou could reduce the number of classes. If y ou are lucky
to be an Engineer or Manager (Y our V isa should state that) y ou need to attend only 1 day
class which consist of 2 courses. Each course is just an hour; so within 2 hours, y ou theory
classes are done.
I went on a Sunday ev ening to open the file and my classes are scheduled for Monday
7 .30pm. I got 1 day classes as my profession in the V isa reads as Engineer.
By now, y ou hav e opened the file and booked for y our theory classes.
T heory classes
Theory classes are held in the first floor. Be on time for the theory classes. If y ou are
happened to be late for 1 0minutes y ou will be considered as absent. Once y ou attend the
classes, y ou can schedule the Theory Test date at Ground Floor Information Centre /
Counters.
T heory T est
Again, be on time for the theory tests. Test halls are on the 1 st floor. If y ou are late by 1 0mins,
y ou hav e to re-schedule the test – means ex tra money .
Y ou should take the “driv ers test appointment sheet” which was giv en to y ou while opening
the file with y ou. In addition y ou should hav e some sort of photo ID such as passport, home
country driv ing license, Labour card. If y ou failed to prov ide any of this, y ou will be turned
away in the ex am hall.
Prepare y ourself by reading the theory hand book page to page. Y ou do not need to memorise
any thing. But read it. That’s enough.
Theory test consists of 45 questions which y ou hav e to do it within 30 minutes. Y ou hav e to

get 36 or more correct answers to pass the ex am. Each question has 3 answers where y ou
hav e to select the best answer. The test is a computer test, where y ou will be reading and
answering the questions in the computer screen. Each indiv idual in the ex am hall will get
different set of questions. Believ e me; the ex am can be finished within 1 5-20minutes max .
Once y ou passed the theory ex am,
1 st time learners can book for the practical classes.

People who hav e their home country driv ing license which are not transferrable
can schedule for the practical ex ams straight away . When I went to collect the
Theory Ex am sheet, I hav e been giv en the Road Test date with that. Its highly
recommended to brush-up the driv ing and parking skills by attending the priv ate
div ing institutes. This is important, as y ou hav e only 1 chance to pass the practical
test. If y ou fail the test, y ou hav e to go through all the classes offered by the Abu
Dhabi Driv ing School and then do the practical test again.
People who hav e their home country driv ing license which are transferrable will
get the UAE driv ing license. I do not hav e any information about this as I hav en’t
ex perience this. I appreciate if someone could share their ex perience on this as
this will be really helpful for other readers.
Practical Driv ing Classes
Practical driv ing class consist of fiv e lessons and it is giv en in two sets, lessons 1 -3 and lessons
4-5. The length of the course v aries depends on whether y ou hav e enrolled to beginners,
intermediate or adv anced course depends on y our knowledge and skills of driv ing.
Schedule for the classes are stretched from morning to late in the ev ening and y ou will be
trained in the driv ing y ard of Emirates Driv ing Company where y ou will ex perience a one-to-
one session with y our instructor. Lessons 1 -3 will take around one week to complete and
lessons 4-5 for approx 1 0 day s. The schedule of y our classes will depend on the av ailability
and the fee will be Approx 2500 AED depends on the number of classes y ou are enrolled to.
Practical T est
Once y ou finished all y our practical courses, the first time learners hav e to do two practical
tests which are Parking Test and the Road Test.
Parking T est:- Parking Test is based on lesson 3. In case y ou need refresher classes for
lesson 3, y ou can opt for one. This will giv e y ou better chance of passing the parking test.
After y ou pass the parking test, the Traffic Police will issue y ou a green ID card. It is a
temporary driv ing card which will allow y ou to contact driv ing instructors if y ou need so for
real road training.
During y our driv ing class in Emirates Driv ing Company , y ou will be driv ing in Driv ing Y ard.
When y ou contact a driv ing instructor, y ou will be driv ing in the real road with his guidance.
This will giv e y ou more training to go for the road test. If y ou think y ou are already confident
to driv e alone, then y ou can proceed with the road test.
Road T est:- This is the final test to obtain the driv ing license in Au Dhabi. Be early during
y our schedule for road test. Bring the “Driv ers Test Appointment” sheet, temporary Driv ing
ID, passport copy and AED 200. There will be two police, one seated in front and the other at
the back, in the car.
If the policeman hands y ou the appointment sheet, it means y ou pass. When the policeman
returns to y ou the green card, it means y ou didn’t pass.
After y ou pass, y ou hav e to go back to the Driv ing Company , pay AED 200 and giv e the
appointment sheet and passport copy . They will take y ou a photo and prov ide y ou the UAE
Driv ing License.
There y ou go; y ou hav e obtain the driv ing license and y ou are ready to driv e in Abu Dhabi &
UAE roads!!
My small piece of adv ice:-
Don’t take the driv ing for granted. While y ou go through y our theory and practical classes,
y ou will learn the road manners and how to driv e in the road. Use that knowledge to driv e
safely in the road.
Make sure y our actual designation is stated in the V isa page. Sometimes companies change
the designation to obtain the V isa. But sometimes this might create some problems for y ou.
Updates:-
22/11/2011
Recently I met a guy who had his driv ing License from Saudi Arabia. He managed to obtain
the UAE license withn 2 day s. Whoa..!! Thats really fast. Incase if any of y ou had GCC DL, y ou
do not need attend the theory test. Y ou can straight away book for the Practical ex ams.

Y ou can take an assessment test before starting the practical classes. After this
assessment, they will tell y ou which stage y ou should go for the practical. But, before
going to the assessment, make sure y ou know about rev erse parking, parallel parking,
round about and fast driv ing. Good Luck.!

Hi,
1 . Y ou are not required to appear in parking test if y ou hav e y our home country
license (please make sure y ou hav e mentioned this while opening the file).
Y ou can straight away book for y our road test, still it is adv isable to freshen up y our
driv ing skill with some priv ate driv ing school. It will increase the probability of y our
success in road test.
2. In case of non av ailability of y our emirates id and passport y ou can show y our
medical insurance card as y our photo id.

sunil_shriv astav a14 December 1 8, 201 2 at 1 :08 AM
Some inputs which may help y ou..

1 . I was hav ing home country driv ing licence. Got UAE driv ing licence in ex act 1 5
day s.
2. I booked fast track theory classes by pay ing some additional fee. Y ou can ask about
this when booking for theory classes. Please note, this facility is for the people hav ing
v isa stating their designation as engineers / managers and abov e. I need to attend
only four classes in place of eight. Still i strongly adv ise to go through the theory book
giv en to y ou while booking for theory classes. It is v ery essential for read the entire
book, irrespectiv e of wh ich classes y ou attended. This will really help in increasing
the probability of y our success in theory test.
3. For road test y ou will be trav elling in a bus behind the test v ehicle. Y ou hav e to get
down and reach to test v ehicle when its y our turn. Some important tips for road test...
a. Keep y our learners licence in y our hand. On arriv ing to test v ehicle first of all hand
ov er this card to the ex aminer.
b. Be patient, take y our own time to settle down on the driv ing seat. Follow all
procedure like Seat adjustment, Mirror adjustment, Shifting of gear, Release of hand
brakes etc. Do not show hurry ev en if y ou are asked for by ex aminer.
c. While driv ing v iewing back mirror and side mirror at frequent interv als is as
important as v iewing in front.
d. and last but not least... maintain the speed between 60 - 7 0 kmph. My personal
observ ation is failure ratio of slow driv ers is higher than the good speed driv ers.
Hope this information helps y ou...

instructor as y ou will be driv ing in the real road with his guidance, y ou now need to
make a contract with the instructor for the classes, the instructor ev aluates y ou and
will let y ou know how many classes y ou need to take before y ou go for the final road

Part 1
------
My ex perience of opening a driv ing test/training file between 28 and 30 Jan 201 3 was
terrible. To help newcomers, I propose that Mr George Zakhem prepares a list of steps
or, ev en better, a flow chart to ensure that all relev ant procedures are clear and
standardised. Generally , the Emirates Driv ing Company has the procedures in place,
ex cept for some customer serv ice issues which I will describe below. It is basically
the traffic police who is being difficult by not standardising the procedures and by
giv ing a poor serv ice to applicants.
I am in the same category as Nimo, whereby I cannot conv ert my home country
license automatically . Y ou may wish to read the following real story to understand
what could go wrong.
As most people do these day s, I searched for official online information first. There is
useful information from the Abu Dhabi Gov ernment website (www.abudhabi.ae) but
unfortunately they are not well integrated to cov er the whole process. Nimo’s
description on the process is better and I definitely benefited from the
comprehensiv e details. Howev er, the inconsistency of the traffic police has made my
ex perience miserable, ev en when I read the information av ailable online carefully .
The official links are giv en below:

Part 2
------
What the abov e links and Nimo’s description do not ex plain is that the so called
“Driv ers Licensing Department” or “Traffic & Licensing Department” is a traffic police
department and it is bey ond the control of the Emirates Driv ing Company (EDC). In
order to be careful in case of outdated online information, I called the EDC customer
serv ice line (+97 1 2 551 1 91 1 ) to confirm the requirements and the working hours.
The representativ e who answered my call informed me that I did not really need an
Arabic translation of my home country license since it is in English and I could go to
the EDC around 7 pm despite the working hours stated in the webpage (see the 2nd
link abov e). It was a good news to me because it meant no need to take leav e from my
busy work schedule. What turned out was: ev en though the EDC was opened in the
ev ening, the Licensing Department which is a traffic police department to process the
application was closed.
I then v isited EDC the nex t afternoon around 2pm. When the traffic police officer at
the Licensing Department noticed that I did not hav e an Arabic translation of my
home country license, he shouted rudely “Arabic, Arabic” to me. This is despite the
fact that my “International Driv ing Permit” has a page in Arabic. His reason was that
that was a translation of the permit, not that of the plastic driv ing license card.
Leav ing with no choice, I went back and obtained the translation required in the city
in the ev ening.
With all the documents complete, I went to the Licensing Department the nex t
morning at 7 am with an ex pectation that this would be the final round. What
happened then was the traffic police officer said they only started processing new file
after 9.30am. He asked me to v isit the nearby Musaffah police station if I do not want
to wait. Again, the attitude was rude and he did not bother to ex plain how to get there.
Leav ing with such a choice, I went out of the department and checked with an EDC
staff outside for directions because I had no idea of the ex istence of the police station.
A staff said it was 5 minutes away and possible to walk there. With all these
ex periences in mind, I asked another staff who then gav e a better adv ice say ing that it
was better to take a tax i.
When I reached the first gate of the police station, the officer there ex plained politely
that I needed to go to the other side. When I finally reached the police station at
7 .45am, I was asked to surrender my passport at the counter to get a v isitor’s pass to
enter the building. Any way , the worse was y et to come. At the Licensing counter, the
officer just gav e me a form and asked me to simply wait for ey e test outside a room
labelled as V isual Ex amination. There were four people sitting beside the room at that
time. When a few others came later, I knew there was a need to get a number to
maintain order. When somebody started to get a number from a machine by the wall
near the area, a few followed and so did I. The result was: chaos. At least 7 others who
came later got a number before me and some who came earlier got a number later
than me. The officer at the counter really should hav e directed all applicants to get a
number and put a noticeable label at the machine location. Then again, the “doctor”
for ey e test was late and he only arriv ed at 8.45am. The actual ey e test only took
about one minute but so many people’s time was wasted due to the sheer
inconsistency of the traffic police. With ey e test result stated as “Fit”, I was issued a
temporary driv ing or trainee license card (since the card has no label, the proper
name for this card is not certain). I then went back to the EDC around 9.1 5am for the
rest of the process, which was smooth and mostly as described by Nimo. Well, I could
hav e waited at EDC for 2 hour without all these hassles. May be… again may be.
I think we should giv e EDC an opportunity to ex plain. Failing which, publishing this
ex perience in the newspaper is probably good for all future applicants.

Part 3A
-------
It seems that there is no ex planation from EDC. Any way , I hav e passed the road test
and obtained my driv ing license since then. I will share my ex perience again for the
benefits of others since this part was not elaborated by Nimo and there appeared to be
some new changes.
I had an appointment for road test at 7 .45pm. I went to the Licensing Department
inside the EDC building, got a number and then passed the appointment sheet to the
officer behind the counter. I was told to board a specific bus number outside the
building. When I was approaching the bus, a man without uniform stopped me and
asked me to pay AED40 to another man without uniform sitting in a car at the car
park. I followed the crowd and paid. When the receipt giv en to me showed Santana
Driv ing School, I was puzzled. Since it was only about 7 .20am, I went in to check with
the security and he just ev ery body had to paid to the man. Perhaps EDC can ex plain
why the need for this pay ment was not informed earlier and why the receipt came
from a priv ate driv ing school.
The bus was almost full when I was on board. Ev ery body seemed to be waiting
patiently in the stuffy bus until the driv er switched on the air conditioner half an hour
later. A police officer then came to bus door and marked the attendance according to
the appointment sheets he had. The bus finally started shortly after 8am following the
test car to the roads in the Musaffah industrial zone.
Again, there was no number sy stem for who would take the test nex t. After a few guy s
sitting in front went down to hav e their test one by one, somebody from behind
v olunteered to be the nex t. Obv iously some people towards the front were unhappy
and stopped him. A more senior man somehow started instructing the guy s to mov e
to the empty seat in front one by one but not ev ery body listened to him. Basically I
just ignored the commotion. One has to accept that there is simply no queue. EDC
could hav e improv ed this.
It was not necessary to sit in the bus after taking the driv ing test. Some people got off
the bus after their test, presumably to take a tax i back to EDC or they might hav e
other transport arrangement. After about 2 hours of going through almost endless
roundabouts in the industrial zone, the bus finally returned to EDC around 1 0am.
When y ou thought ev ery thing was ov er, what happened nex t brought total confusion
again.

Part 3B
------
With the appointment sheet marked as Passed in hand, a few candidates and my self
were directed by the security outside the Licensing Department to the Musaffah
police station nearby to get our license. This is different from Nimo’s and my
colleague’s ex perience some months ago. With the prev ious ex perience in mind (see
my Parts 2 and 3 abov e), I queued up and asked the police officer at the Licensing
Department. (Sometimes y ou just cannot trust the security guard.) The rude police
officer again pointed me to Musaffah police station. The funny thing was, when we
reached the Musaffah police station, the officer at the reception said we should go to
the Muroor police station, which is half an hour away towards the Abu Dhabi city ,
after 2pm. Being upset, I decided to go back to the Licensing Department inside EDC
and checked again. When I ex plained to the police officer at the counter, he could not
be bothered. I then insisted to see a more senior officer inside, who finally gav e me a
satisfactory ex planation. He said the police needed some time to enter the driv ing test
results into the computer sy stem and my license could be issued at any traffic police
station and I only needed to wait about one hour. So resting for one hour at the EDC
cafeteria, I went to the Licensing Department again at 1 1 .30am. I told the rude officer
at the counter that I was asked to go in and check the status after one hour. The officer
inside checked the computer and said I could now get the license at the Musaffah
police station. I reached there shortly after. Luckily there was no queue at Licensing
counter. After taking a number from the machine beside the wall (see my Part 2
abov e) and my photo taken by the officer, my driv ing license was issued to me just
before 1 2 noon. Had I listened and went to Muroor, I would hav e had to take another
half day leav e from my work.
Are the EDC and the traffic police ev er going to improv e? God knows!

Hey , guy s! Just wanted to update y ou. I'v e already opened my driv ing file, and y es,
y ou can open it at the Muroor Police Station ev en if y ou're a guy . I had some trouble
finding the ex act building inside the police compound. I went into the new building
when I should hav e gone to the old one. It's brown and has a long stairway at the
front.
My ex perience so far was good. The customer serv ice desk forwarded me to the
officer-in-charge. He was a friendly person, checked all my documents first. I then
went back to the customer serv ice desk to get my number, I waited a while to be
called. When it was my turn, the lady at the counter took my documents, checked my
home country driv er's license, receiv ed the pay ment for the processing, took a photo,
gav e me my "Driv er's Test Appointment" sheet, and was finally forwarded to the last
counter to get my "green" card. It actually looks like an all-white card.
Ev ery thing went smoothly , just make sure y ou hav e all y our papers with y ou. The
documents I brought were the following: passport copy + v isa page copy , translated
home country driv er's license + the plastic card itself, No-Objection Certificate in
Arabic from my company , photocopy of my Emirates ID, and two passport-sized
photographs. All in all, I paid 1 00 (processing fee) + 25 (ey e test) = Dh1 25. I came in
around 5PM, so there wasn't a lot of people. It took around an hour and a half only ,
including waiting time.
Word of adv ice: wait for y our green card. In my case, the person distributing those
temporary licenses wasn't at the counter, so I had to wait around 20 minutes. Turns
out the machine automatically prints out the card, and it does take a while. So don't
just leav e y et until y ou get the card, I think that's the most important thing.

Hi, AJoy . Hm, that's surprising. I also spoke to some ladies at the

Because that contradicted to the information I read here and the Abu Dhabi
gov ernment website, I was doubtful and still went further in and spoke to
spoke to a man at the customer serv ice desk(opposite the closed coffee
shop), and he directed me to an Emirati officer's office, beside the rightmost
counter. He then asked me why I didn't open file in Mussafah, but I
reasoned with him that the driv ing school told me that I also had the option
to open there at Muroor.
I'm not sure if it's the case now, but what I know is that I was able to open
my file there.
