If your motorbike is registered in Dubai but you’re residing in Abu Dhabi, you can still complete its registration renewal locally. Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth process:

1. Vehicle Inspection

  1. Online via RTA: Log in to the Dubai RTA website or mobile app.
  2. Select Renewal: Choose Vehicle Licensing > Renew Registration, then enter your motorbike’s details.
  3. Choose Delivery Method:
    • Physical Card: Receive your renewed registration card via courier.
