VEHICLE BRANDING PERMIT REQUIRED DOCUMENTS


A mandatory requirement for advertising on your vehicle is obtaining permission from the RTA; however, acquiring the RTA permit is a straightforward process. RTA inspectors will review your vehicle’s design to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations of the Dubai government. Once your design meets the specified requirements and the payment is cleared, RTA will issue a permit for each vehicle, valid for one year. Familiarizing yourself with the rules and regulations can prevent rejection from RTA, saving you time and money. Our experts at Sahara can provide you with a hassle-free complete service and offer advanced advice.
