- Vehicle Testing:
- Visit a government-authorized testing or inspection center in your current GCC country.
- Complete the vehicle inspection as per the local requirements.
- Obtaining the Test Report:

- Hard Copy: If you receive a physical report, scan it clearly. Ensure the document includes the official stamp from the testing center.
- Submit the Test Report to the RTA:
- Log in to the RTA website.
- Upload the test report to the designated section.
- Once the report is processed and visible in the RTA system, you can proceed with the registration renewal.
