Traffic Directorate Orders Right-Hand Drive Vehicle Owners to Finalize Registration Documents

The General Directorate of Traffic under the Ministry of Interior Affairs has issued a formal directive requiring all owners of right-hand drive vehicles to complete their registration and documentation processes. The notice mandates that these vehicles must be properly registered, issued official license plates, and have their administrative records brought up to date.

According to the traffic authority, vehicle owners who previously received only a temporary registration sticker but lack a formal operating permit and standard license plate must now secure the complete documentation package. Additionally, owners of right-hand drive vehicles whose existing paperwork has expired are instructed to visit their local traffic police departments to process the necessary renewals.

The directorate emphasized that compliance with the new requirements is mandatory and outlined specific enforcement measures for non-compliance. Traffic police officers are authorized to impound any right-hand drive vehicle found operating without valid documentation. These vehicles will remain prohibited from use on public roads until owners resolve all outstanding registration requirements and finalize their paperwork with the relevant authorities.

The directive is intended to standardize vehicle registration procedures and ensure that all right-hand drive cars operating within the country meet established administrative standards. Vehicle owners are urged to complete the required procedures promptly to avoid enforcement actions and the temporary seizure of their vehicles.
