Eye-test guidance
Driving licence eye test in Dubai
An eye test is commonly required before or during the licensing process. The exact route, centre, and documentation can vary by category, so it is best to check the current official guidance rather than rely on general advice alone.
General process
- 1Check the latest eye-test requirement for your category and route through the official RTA and licensing channels.
- 2Select an approved optical centre or centre recognised by the relevant authority for the service you need.
- 3Bring the required ID and licence-related documents if the centre requests them before testing.
- 4Use the result as part of your overall file or licensing process, then continue with theory or practical training as required.
No formal partnership with any driving institute, authority, or government entity has been confirmed. All information should be verified with the current official guidance before making a decision.
Use the current official RTA and service instructions to identify approved optical centres or authorised channels. Do not rely on unverified third-party claims about a centre’s accreditation.

Eye test
The test is usually a standard part of the licensing screening and must be kept with the rest of your application process.
Document check
Bring the identifying or licence documents the centre requests. Do not assume the same list applies to every route or category.
Official confirmation
If a centre or provider says they can “guarantee” the test outcome or approval, treat this as a red flag and verify it independently.
