Translating UAE Driving Licences for Australian Purposes
UAE driving licences are issued by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, Abu Dhabi Transport Licensing Authority (ADTCA / previously ADTA) in Abu Dhabi, and equivalent authorities in other emirates. The modern UAE licence is a credit-card format with Arabic and English text, licence categories and validity dates.
UAE licences include the holder's name (in Arabic and English), photo, Emirates ID number and vehicle class authorisations. Both the Arabic and English portions of UAE licences are translated where relevant. UAE licences are among the most commonly translated licences for Australian car hire and licence conversion purposes.
