The new Vehicles’ Number Plate Workshop building, opened by the Ministry of Interior (MoI) in the Industrial Area earlier this week, is spread over an area of 25,000sq m and built at a cost of QR18mn.
General Directorate of Traffic director general Brigadier Mohamed Saad al-Kharji said the new workshop with its larger area and advanced equipment will make installation of number plates on cars much easier than it was at the former location at Madinat Khalifa.
The number plate installation will be done within minutes now without the need for the owner of the car to get down from the vehicle.
The new workshop building is divided into three parts with the first having two separate sections for light and heavy vehicles with 17 counters and can accommodate 150 people.
The second part is the workshop area equipped with modern, imported equipment, while the third part of the building is a warehouse for raw materials used in manufacturing the number plates. Captain Ahmed Ali Kreeb, head of the workshop, said that the workshop will be open from 6am to 7pm.
The building comes under the General Directorate of Traffic’s Licensing Department.
