AMMAN — A total of 56,553 citizens have benefited from the recent government's decision to exempt vehicles with expired licensing for over a year from fines, until December 5, Director of the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Department (DVLD) Brig. Gen. Omar Quraan said on Monday. 

 

The measure, which is in effect until the end of December, aims to encourage individuals to renew their vehicle registrations, with DVLD rolling out fully-equipped mobile stations in northern, central, and southern Badia regions to bring services directly to local communities, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

 

These mobile stations provide essential services such as vehicle inspections, registration renewals, and payment of fees, making it easier for citizens to access services without needing to travel to central licensing offices.

 

In an interview with Petra, Quraan explained that the department currently operates 22 offices and 13 mobile stations, three of which offer extended hours beyond the regular working day.

 

He noted that the initiative is designed to ease the burden on citizens, particularly those who have faced financial challenges that have delayed their ability to renew vehicle registrations on time.

 

Quraan stressed that the decision offers a complete exemption from fines for expired registrations, including vehicles with registrations overdue by more than two years, which are also exempted from re-registration fees.

 

The director added that mobile licensing stations in the Badia regions have seen a "particularly high turnout," which underscores the "success" of this initiative in increasing access to services and fostering greater compliance with traffic regulations.

 

To further enhance service delivery, the department seeks to improve its digital platform, which currently provides 39 online services, he pointed out.

 

Quraan added that the Sanad app has been introduced, allowing citizens to display their driver’s licenses electronically, simplifying the process and reducing administrative burdens.

 

He reiterated that the department is committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of the public, where the focus remains on improving user experiences and offering flexible solutions to vehicle licensing challenges.

 

He urged citizens, especially as the deadline approaches, to take advantage of the available services to avoid fines and contribute to enhanced road safety.
