the technical vehicle certificate is no longer available from the context of a non-owner. You can only pull it when you sign in into RTA and the car is under your name... they changed that some time ago. If you cant figure the owner or the car is owned by a dealer who isn't cooperating, you won't be able to get this data until the car is transferred to you. Which kinda defeats the purpose of this service even being there...

In the past you could access this service but the owner received a message and had to give his approval for the records to be shared.

correct! as long as you get the OTP from the owner, you could get the paper delivered to your inbox...

Keep in mind, here lot's of cars which will have issue after export, as they are stolen from US, Canada.

Read statistic some time back, people were importing car to Russia, officially bought here, when time to register in Russia - can't, sent to special parking, as Interpol showed this car is stolen. 

So the best if the car was made for  GCC and bought originally here from official dealer
