If you have completed the theory and practical classes for your Dubai driving license, it is time to take a test to assess your knowledge and receive your driving license. Typically, your driving school will schedule the test time and date based on available slots. However, if you need to change the date and time due to work or study obligations, you can easily do so by visiting the Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) website.
Learners have the option of whether they are taking a knowledge test, a yard test, or a road test. Here are the steps to take.
Which details of the appointment can one change?
Customers are not charged a fee to change the date and time of a test, according to the RTA website rta.ae. However, rescheduling the test date to an earlier date than what has already been scheduled will cost you Dh300 plus a Dh20 knowledge and innovation fee.
If you are fine with the test date but want to change the time, the RTA call center advises customers to check with their driving center institute to see if a different time for the test is possible.
