The service allows users to complete their traffic transactions and get answers to their queries by sending a message on Whatsapp.
The cases are handled by staff that are trained in sign language, to facilitate the completion of services.
Which services can I complete?
The initiative allows deaf people to complete a range of traffic and licensing services, including:
• Vehicle and driver licensing transactions
• Traffic violations
• Traffic search and control transactions
• Impounding of vehicles
• Updating traffic files
• Traffic points imposition
• Receiving complaints and suggestions
Other police services
Dubai residents who have a hearing impairment, or generally fall under the category of people of determination, can register with Dubai Police to ensure that at the time of an emergency, the response is prioritised and they are able to receive help quickly. This is because people of determination or those with critical illnesses are particularly vulnerable to emergencies like fires.
