Rif Dimashq Transport Directorate Processes 187k Transactions in 2026
The Transport Directorate in Rif Dimashq successfully processed more than 187,000 transactions and administrative procedures during the first nine months of 2026. This achievement reflects the department’s ongoing efforts to enhance both administrative and technical performance while improving service delivery for citizens.
Samer Jagsi, Director of Transport for Rif Dimashq, stated that the completed work encompassed a broad spectrum of essential services. These ranged from vehicle registration and title transfers to license renewals, technical inspections, data updates, and the processing of legal notices.
Providing a breakdown of these figures, Jagsi noted that vehicle registration saw significant demand, exceeding 30,000 transactions during the period, of which 4,357 involved first-time registrations. Title transfers reached over 35,000 sales and purchase transactions, supplemented by 200 inheritance-based transfers and approximately 270 transactions executed under judicial rulings.
The directorate also reported substantial activity in the licensing sector, completing more than 22,000 license renewal transactions, alongside 780 replacements for lost documents and 2,400 replacements for worn-out documents. Regarding technical inspections, the directorate conducted over 24,000 inspections for various purposes. These included mandatory periodic checks for impounded vehicles to ensure they meet technical standards and to uphold road safety requirements.
Jagsi emphasized that the directorate remains committed to modernizing its operational systems in line with the digital transformation directives of the Syrian Ministry of Transport. A key highlight of this modernization is the implementation of a digital technical inspection system. Engineers now utilize tablets to perform inspections and update vehicle data electronically in real-time, significantly reducing the time and effort required while minimizing reliance on traditional paper-based workflows.
Beyond technological upgrades, the directorate has focused on improving physical infrastructure. This includes upgrading servers and performing maintenance on internet networks, which has collectively improved processing speeds and reduced waiting times for citizens. Additionally, the department has bolstered its capacity by onboarding new personnel, all of whom have undergone specialized training programs to ensure operational efficiency.
As part of its organizational strategy to manage crowds, the directorate has introduced an electronic display system to manage queues. This has enabled a more streamlined flow of visitors and allowed for more effective distribution of the workload across various departments. Jagsi reaffirmed the directorate’s commitment to further refining its operational mechanisms to provide high-quality services defined by speed, transparency, and accuracy for all citizens.
