How to Get RTA Driving License Address Proof in Dubai via Virtual Ejari
Opening a driving file, transferring a foreign driving license, or booking driving lessons with licensed institutes (such as EDI, Galadari, or Belhasa) in Dubai requires residents to prove a direct residential or employment link to the emirate. If your residence visa was issued in another emirate (such as Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or Northern Emirates) but you currently reside or work in Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) mandates an active, verified Dubai tenancy contract (Ejari) before establishing your traffic file.
