The ROP has announced the completion of electronic link with insurance companies as part of its efforts to modernise services to serve people better.

This follows the Capital Market Authority (CMA) order for insurance firms to activate the e-link with ROP. “The insurance data will be transmitted automatically to the computer system at ROP’s vehicle registration department,” according to an official at ROP.

The new system will save time and cut down on long procedures for issuance and renewal of registration and licences.

According to CMA, the ROP officer who renews the registration will see the insurance policy uploaded by the insurer or verify the policy number through chassis number or vehicle number.
