RTA’s Licensing Agency is all set for staging the 87th ‘Public Distinctive Number Plates Auction’ on Saturday, May 23, at Al Baraha Ballroom – InterContinental Hotel, Festival City in Dubai. About 100 vehicle plates will be on offer comprising 3, 4 and 5-digit plates. Registration for the auction will open on Sunday, May 17.

“The RTA is keen on staging open auctions as they are widely popular among customers who have been attending these auctions for several years as they find them a perfect platform for obtaining their fancied distinguished vehicle plates,” said Mohammed Abdul Kareem Nimaat, Director of Vehicles Licensing at RTA Licensing Agency.

“The forthcoming open auction comprises an array of select numbers which are much sought-after by the public as they include three, four and five-digit plates coded H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P; rising up to the needs of many number plates enthusiasts.

“The auction is a great opportunity for the public to interact and fulfil their desire of obtaining distinguished licensing plates. Open auctions are hugely competitive and witness heated bidding for obtaining certain plates,” said Nimaat.

“Registration for the auction will open on Sunday, May 17, and will continue up to the day of the auction (from 2 pm to 4 pm). Bidding will start at 4.30 pm. Registrations can also be made through RTA’s customer service centers in Dubai such as the Customer Service Centers at Umm Al Romool, Deira, Al Barsha or through RTA’s portal (www.rta.ae). Registration for the auction requires depositing a retrievable security cheque amounting to Dh25,000,” Nimaat explained.
