Muscat: As part of its continuous efforts to digitalize most of its public-related services, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) on Monday added several new features to its mobile application, including the provision for motorists to view traffic violations.

The new services were launched at the COMEX 2024 Technology Exhibition, which was opened by His Highness Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham bin Tarik al Said, Minister of Culture, Sports, and Youth.

Speaking to the Observer, Laith al Taei of ROP said that the user needs to activate the digital identity through six main steps including registration of the face biometrics. Once done, the user will be able to access the image of the traffic violation. It is necessary to update the ROP mobile application to the latest version.



Apart from the fines, users will be able to request vehicle registration replacement, pay traffic fines via mobile banking, Thawani, and Thasdeed platforms, and reprint a lost vehicle license via self-service devices after submitting the request through the application.


It will link the Ministry of Health and the electronic visa system for the medical examination and eliminate the need to attach it while applying for the visa before arriving in the Sultanate of Oman.

The mobile application will allow inquiring and paying local or Gulf traffic violations and municipal violations registered to citizens, residents, organizations, and companies.

The service also allows downloading the violations’ report through an advanced search by service category and period, as well as allowing the beneficiary to view e-payment history.

The beneficiary can inquire about violations registered on a specific vehicle, provided that the owner's data matches the vehicle's data.
