In an interview with Al Rayan TV Channel yesterday, Lieutenant Abdul Mohsen Al Ruwaili, officer at the Awareness Department said that all vehicles (Cars, Vans, Trucks, Motorcycles, and lorries) will be exempted from the technical inspection as of March 22, 2020 in order to benefit from online services.

Al Ruwaili has also said that this came in collaboration with Fahes centres and for motorists to get the approval online, they will have to download the Woqod app, navigate to the Fahes section, request for a “new check”, fill in the data and complete the inspection process.

Lieutenant Abdul Mohsen Al Ruwaili confirned that there is no need for motorists to bring their vehicles to Fahes for inspection. Here are the steps you need to take:
