Lieutenant Abdel Mohsen Al Ruwaili, Traffic Awareness Officer at the General Directorate of Traffic, said all vehicles that are due for Istimarah (registration) renewal will be exempt from reporting to a FAHES center for technical inspection from 18 March 2020. This is in light of the precautionary measures taken by the Country to confront the spread of the Coronavirus.
To get the approval online, motorists have to download the Woqod app, navigate to the FAHES section, request for a "new examination", fill in the data, pay the vehicle insurance fees, and then renew vehicle registration through Metrash 2 app.
