The Good Stuff
Self-service
The kiosk lets you enter your licence number and date of birth, pay by card and print the licence or receipt without a lengthy counter process.
Well organised
Customers describe the office as clean and organised, with ticket queuing and several counters helping routine transactions run smoothly.
Broad access
The centre brings several RTA-related services together, including licence work, vehicle registration and utility payments.
Quick printing
Licence-card printing is a particularly efficient part of the visit; one review says the card was printed in about a minute.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Check the centre’s hours before travelling; the kiosk is inside the building and may be inaccessible when the doors are closed.
Do eye test. Complete the eye test before arriving for a licence renewal; one visitor said the stored result made the kiosk process take under five minutes.
Sunday alternative. If you arrive on Sunday and find the centre closed, the nearby Al Barsha Happiness Center has RTA machines and was reported open 24 hours.
Bring payment. Bring cash or a local card rather than relying on a foreign credit card, which one customer said was not accepted.
Prepare translation. For a licence-related visit requiring translation, arrange the translated licence elsewhere before coming to the centre.

An eye test is available as part of the broader centre experience, though completing it before the kiosk visit can speed up renewal.
Vehicle transfer

Common Concerns
Unreliable hours

Machine confusion
The end-of-process customer survey reportedly slows the machines because people are unsure what to do next.
Error delays
A vehicle-registration renewal encountered machine errors and an unhelpful reception response, turning a normally simple task into a three-hour ordeal.
Payment limits
One review says foreign credit cards were not accepted, so international visitors may need cash or a local card.

The Bottom Line
RTA Smart Kiosk - Tasjeel Al Barsha is useful for routine RTA errands in Al Barsha, especially driving licence renewal and licence-card printing. Several reviews describe the self-service process as taking roughly five minutes, while one customer printed a card in less than a minute. You can also handle vehicle registration-related work at the wider centre.
The kiosk sits inside the Tasjeel building, so access depends on the centre being open. That matters more than the online listing suggests: one visitor found it closed despite the website showing it open, and another specifically reported Sunday closure. If you are caught out on Sunday, the nearby Al Barsha Happiness Center was described as having RTA machines open 24 hours.
Do the eye test before arriving if you are renewing a licence; a stored result can make the kiosk visit much quicker. Payment preparation is worthwhile too, as a review says foreign credit cards were not accepted. Most feedback favours the clean, organised setup, but machine errors have occasionally turned vehicle-registration renewals into much longer visits.
There is also a customer survey at the end of the machine process that one visitor found confusing and slow.
