UAE announces new parking permit service
UAE’s Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) announced an update to the resident parking permit service app.
The new system allows customers to submit applications for new residents parking permits, renew expired permits, or nearly expired ones, without the need to upload any documents. The system will also accept requests to modify the information contained in existing residents parking permits, such as changing vehicle information or residence information. These services are available on the ‘Darb’ platform website and Darb application.
Furthermore, steps to paying service fees and Mawaqif fines have been reduced to one step instead of two.
The ITC highlighted that the permit will be issued immediately after submitting the application and paying the service fees, in the absence of any pending fines.
In the event of existing fines, customers are required to pay the same as well as the service fees in order to immediately obtain the permit. The customer would then be immediately notified of the successful residents parking permit application and the system would be updated accordingly.
The ITC support team would also work on reviewing the information of the application within 14 days from the date of permit issuance.
