target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taxi services in Abu Dhabi<\/a>, you must have a taxi driver permit which you can obtain by following these instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-creating-a-new-driver-profile-and-initial-approval\">Step 1: Creating a New Driver Profile and Initial Approval<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in obtaining a private taxi driver permit in Abu Dhabi is to create a new driver profile and apply for initial approval through the Licensing and Enforcement System (LES). Here\u2019s the list of documents as part of the Abu Dhabi taxi driver permit requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-required-documents\">Required Documents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coloured copy of your passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your photo with a white background<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A copy of your school certificate showing successful completion of ten academic years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is crucial to ensure the authenticity of the documents you submit, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/itc-abu-dhabi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ITC Abu Dhabi<\/a> reserves the right to cancel your driver profile and blacklist you if any submitted documents are found to be forged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will receive an electronic record of the initial approval or rejection from the Abu Dhabi Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-uploading-uae-driving-licence-and-updating-profile\">Step 2: Uploading UAE Driving Licence and Updating Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step requires you to upload your original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/driving-licence-uae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UAE driving licence<\/a> in the LES and update your online driver profile. Additionally, you must upload a personal photo of yourself wearing the UAE uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-completing-5-training-courses\">Step 3: Completing 5 Training Courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before proceeding further, you need to complete five mandatory training courses through the Smart Training System. These courses are essential for preparing you for the responsibilities of a taxi driver and ensuring the safety and satisfaction of your passengers. The courses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Excellence in Customer Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ITC Regulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traffic Skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk Management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-scheduling-the-itc-assessment\">Step 4: Scheduling the ITC Assessment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this step, you need to schedule an appointment for the ITC Assessment through the LES. Passing the ITC Assessment is a crucial requirement to obtain a private taxi permit. The assessment includes an oral assessment and a written assessment. You will receive an electronic record of the assessment result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ITC Assessment appointment is given if you complete these requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creation of an ITC driver profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completion of the specified training courses by ITC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the drivers must arrive at the assessment halls at least 30 minutes before their scheduled appointment. They must bring their UAE driving licence with them. If you are late for more than 90 minutes, it will result in automatic failure. Moreover, to pass the ITC Assessment, you must answer at least 60% of the questions correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Taxi driver permit in Abu Dhabi is required to ride taxi in the capital city\" class=\"wp-image-158223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-640x400.png 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-421x263.png 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-558x349.png 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-363x227.png 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-250x156.png 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-368x230.png 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-774x484.png 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-672x420.png 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-437x273.png 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-301x188.png 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-240x150.png 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-771x482.png 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-669x418.png 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18095125\/body-image-2-435x272.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Once you receive your taxi driver\u2019s permit, you can start providing taxi services in Abu Dhabi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-issuing-a-private-taxi-permit\">Step 5: Issuing a Private Taxi Permit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After successfully passing the ITC Assessment, you need to provide several additional documents to complete the process of obtaining a private taxi permit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-required-documents-1\">Required Documents&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Criminal status research certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health status certificate proving your suitability for work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A medical certificate for an eye examination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A valid visa for non-Emiratis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/mybayut\/all-about-emirates-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emirates ID<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To validate these documents, you must present true copies of the original documents, which should be approved by the Customer Happiness Office in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain.
