If you are outside the UAE in any other GCC country, the renewal process for your Abu Dhabi-registered vehicle remains simple and direct.
Test the Vehicle in a GCC Government-Authorized Center
The first step is to test the vehicle in any government-authorised vehicle testing center in the GCC country where you are currently located. The test must be completed before moving to the next step.
Authorize Someone to Submit the Test Report
Once the test is done, you need to authorise someone to submit the test report at the Abu Dhabi Traffic Department. The report must be uploaded in the system for the renewal to proceed.
Take Insurance
After the test report is submitted in the system, the next requirement is to take insurance for the vehicle. Insurance must be completed before renewal.
Renew the Registration
Once the insurance is done, you can renew the registration.
