Abu Dhabi Police will start issuing permanent registration cards for all vehicles in the UAE capital starting from December 1, reported state news agency Wam.

However, the new card will be issued without an expiry date, stated the report citing the General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police.

The expiry date will only be available on the traffic and licensing system to be used for renewal which requires car technical testing and insurance, it stated.

Abu Dhabi Police said SMS will be sent to the vehicles owners to remind them of getting their registration cards renewed a month before the expiry date.

Accordingly, they will be able to get the service without having to change the registration card, according to the Wam report.

They can also enquire about the card expiration via Abu Dhabi police smart applications or website, it added.
