Good news for Sharjah drivers! ENOC’s Tasjeel has just opened three new vehicle testing and registration centres in Al Madam, Souq Al Haraj, and Industrial Area 4. These additions boost Tasjeel’s capacity to handle an extra 40,000 vehicle tests each year, making it easier for residents and businesses to keep their cars road-legal. Here’s a simple guide to what these new centres offer, why they matter, and how they can save you time and hassle.
What New with Tasjeel in Sharjah?
Tasjeel, a partnership between ENOC Group, Sharjah Police, and Sharjah Asset Management, has expanded its network to 16 centres in Sharjah with these new locations. The goal? To make vehicle testing and registration faster and more accessible across the UAE. With these openings, Tasjeel now runs 37 centres and two mobile units nationwide, serving millions of drivers annually.
Here’s a quick look at the new centres:
- Souq Al Haraj: Features 4 testing bays, handling up to 31,000 vehicle tests yearly. Perfect for busy areas with high vehicle traffic.
- Al Madam: Equipped with 1 testing bay, capable of 10,000 tests annually. Ideal for residents in less crowded areas.
- Industrial Area 4: A full-service hub for both individual drivers and businesses, offering comprehensive testing and registration.
These centres use cutting-edge equipment to ensure vehicles meet UAE safety and environmental standards, as required by the RTA and Sharjah Municipality.
Why This Expansion Matters
The new centres come at a perfect time. With over 3.5 million vehicles in the UAE, and a big chunk in Sharjah and Dubai, demand for testing and registration is high. Tasjeel’s expansion means:
- More Convenience: With 16 locations in Sharjah alone, you’re never far from a Tasjeel centre. Popular spots like Al Qusais, Al Barsha, and Sharjah Auto Village are already busy, and these new centres reduce wait times.
- Increased Capacity: The extra 40,000 tests per year help clear backlogs, especially during peak seasons.
- Business Support: Industrial Area 4’s full-service setup caters to fleet owners, making it easier for companies to keep their vehicles compliant.
Tasjeel’s services go beyond basic testing. You can get vehicle registration, number plate fixes, insurance, export/import certifications, and even VIP fast-track options for those in a rush.
Services at Tasjeel’s New Centres
The new centres offer a wide range of services to keep your vehicle road-ready:
- Vehicle Testing: Checks brakes, horns, electronics, and more to meet RTA and Sharjah Police standards. Mandatory for cars over three years old.
- Registration Renewal: Streamlined process to renew your vehicle’s registration after passing the test.
- Comprehensive Test: Perfect for buying or selling used cars, this detailed check covers the engine, exterior, and more. Available at Souq Al Haraj and Industrial Area 4.
- Number Plate Services: Get new plates or replace old ones. Costs are included in first-time registration but extra for replacements.
- VIP Service: Skip the line for AED 150 extra. Great for busy drivers at select locations like Souq Al Haraj.
- Fleet Services: Mobile testing units and tailored options for businesses with multiple vehicles.
Testing takes about 15–45 minutes, depending on the vehicle type (light or heavy). Fees vary by service—standard tests in Sharjah cost around AED 150–170.
What’s Next for Tasjeel?
Tasjeel isn’t stopping here. Plans for 2025–2026 include more centres in Sharjah’s Industrial Area and Al Saja’a, building on recent openings like the Kalba centre, which marked Tasjeel’s 100th testing bay. These expansions aim to keep up with the UAE’s growing vehicle numbers and ensure safer roads.
Tips for Visiting Tasjeel Centres
- Check Timings: Most centres operate from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with some offering 24-hour service. Friday hours are shorter (e.g., 8:00 AM–12:00 PM, 4:00 PM–9:00 PM). Confirm on the Tasjeel website.
- Bring Documents: You’ll need your Emirates ID, vehicle registration card, and insurance papers for testing and renewal.
- Avoid Peak Hours: Mornings (11:00 AM–2:00 PM) can be busy. Early or late visits are faster.
