Make vehicle number plates a bit more sporty

Ras Al Khaimah - The move is in response to the requests of the public to replace their big and long traditional number places with smaller and customised ones

Vehicle owners in Ras Al Khaimah can now replace their regular number plates with customised ones from today.
The smaller and sporty number plates in black and white would cost only Dh500 as per the new scheme launched by the Ras Al Khaimah Police and general resources authority.
Colonel Adel Ali Al Ghais, acting director of the licensing department at the RAK Police, said the new number plates are available for all vehicles.
"Applicants should follow the set procedures and pay the due fees, and the regular number plates will be replaced with the new ones immediately.
"However, only the front number plate will be changed, and that will cost Dh500," Captain Thaer of the RAK Police told Khaleej Times.
The move is in response to the requests of the public to replace their big and long traditional number places with smaller and customised ones, Col Al Ghais said.
"They want to add a touch of beauty to their vehicles and share the feeling of the owners of luxury cars."
Col Al Ghais said the RAK Police and general resources authority spare no effort to meet the public needs, and provide the best and most convenient services to them. He added: "All our services are up to the latest international standards." Humid Al Marzouqi, an Emirati, said he had requested the licensing department several times permission to replace his car's big number plates with smaller ones.
"I am so happy that they have reconsidered the request," he said. "The sports registration numbers will make my Lexus car look better and more attractive on the road."
Mohammed Ibrahim, another Emirati, said he was looking for more changes in the new number plates. "I wanted to see more colours in the new number plates as is the case in other emirates."
