“The building for the new RTAD’s traffic rules and regulations awareness giving centre in Ywarthagyi was completed now. When we resume RTAD operations during the pandemic period, we will implement our working process in the new building at which the driving tests will be conducted, and the traffic rules and regulations awareness training will be given. We will limit the number of people who reach the office for taking the practical driving test and the written test in line with the Ministry of Health and Sports guidance. 

Those who will take the traffic rules and regulations test need to make an online booking. We will announce the opening date of the RTAD office,” said Daw Thwin Thwin Htwe, the deputy director of the RTAD (Ywarthagyi) office. Those from four Yangon Region districts can apply for a new licence at RTAD new office in Ywarthagyi until the smart driving licence is issued. The COVID-19 committee already inspected the new building.

Those who want to take the driving test will have to book online one day ahead. Those who want to take the written test will have to book online three days ahead. The driving test will be conducted at this new building.

The driving licence application process will be completed under one roof when the applicants receive the driving smart card licence, according to Region RTAD branch office in Ywarthagyi.
