Abu Dhabi Municipality said preliminary procedures to document lease contracts can now be completed at typing centres as well as through its website. The service was part of efforts to streamline the Tawtheeq registration system and widen the scope of online services, according to Sultan Huwair, of the municipality. Mr Huwair told<em> Al Ittihad</em>, the Arabic-language sister newspaper of <em>The National</em>, that customers can now complete paperwork by using the free online link on the Abu Dhabi Municipality website or using the services offered by typing centres. A transaction will take no more than seven minutes, which will significantly reduce customers’ waiting time and ease pressure on the municipality’s customer service centres.
