The Good Stuff
Fast renewals
A long-term customer reported completing inspection and registration renewal, including Mulkiya printing, in under 10 minutes.
Clear guidance
Reception staff were praised for giving proper instructions that helped customers complete their process quickly.
Online convenience
Most transactions can be handled online, with the registration card printed at the centre.
Ownership transfers
One customer said a car ownership transfer was completed in roughly five minutes after returning with the buyer.
Helpful testing team
The testing-bay team has been described as cooperative, informative and efficient, even during extreme heat and humidity.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Use pre-booking where possible, but allow extra time: one appointment holder still waited an hour to reach the bay.
Check requirements. Before testing, check safety items and stickers; one customer reported a fail for a 1kg rather than 2kg extinguisher and other details.
Allow flexibility. Opening and appointment handling have not always matched the published or booked time, so avoid scheduling a tightly timed follow-up.

The Bottom Line
Shamil Adhed in Al Hudaiba handles the practical RTA-related jobs that bring most drivers here: vehicle inspection, registration renewal and ownership transfer. Reviews also mention insurance, online registration and printing the registration card on site. The main draw is speed when the process is running normally.
Customers describe testing visits lasting 10–15 minutes, while one inspection-and-renewal visit, including Mulkiya printing, took under 10 minutes. The experience is not completely consistent. Testing-bay and registration staff are often described as courteous, informative and efficient, and one ownership transfer was completed in about five minutes.
On the other hand, several reviews report rude interactions at the entrance, drop-off cabin or front desk. Instructions about check-in, appointments and requirements can also be unclear, and one customer struggled to get an answer about Ramadan hours by phone. If you are visiting for a first-time pass or transfer, check the required safety equipment and stickers before arriving.
A review specifically mentions a 2kg fire extinguisher, medical kit and give-way sticker. Book ahead when possible, but keep spare time: an appointment holder waited an hour to reach the bay, while another arrived before opening and waited 40 minutes.
