After staying for more than 10 years in Dubai-UAE. I had to renew my driving license. I had got my automatic driving license in the year 2009 and recently came up for renewal and I decided to use the RTA Smart Teller Kiosk to get my new driving license.
So I went to the RTA Website and looked for the procedure to renew my driving license.
