Expats are not allowed to renew their driving license

  • 16/12/2021

KUWAIT CITY : Currently, all expats in Kuwait are prohibited from renewing their driving licences because the authorities are awaiting a mechanism to withdraw driving licences from expats who do not meet the conditions.

The decision to restrict access to an automated system for renewing driver's licences was made about a week ago.
Directives were issued not to renew, replace, or apply for lost licences until the mechanism was established by a technical committee chaired by Faisal Al-Nawaf, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior team.

According to sources, even if expats meet all of the requirements for obtaining a driver's licence, the traffic department has stopped accepting renewals and other transactions.
Those who have expired driving licences and are involved in traffic accidents will face legal consequences.
