Around 250,000 Driving License Of Expats To Be Withdrawn

The Ministry of Interior will begin to implement a project to cancel old valid driving licenses and replace them with new, in this process it is expected that 250,000 driving licenses of expats will be canceled.

The committee in charge has begun its work this month, it will take 3 months to finish it. This is done to reduce congestion of traffic on Kuwait roads. The total number of licenses issued has reached more than 3 million, from these valid ones are estimated to around a million which will be replaced with new driving licenses.

Replacing these licenses will require a large number of employees to receive visitors, new driving license will have a magnetic strip, reports Al Rai. The reason to cancel 250,000 driving license of expats is that there are several reasons. One of them is that the driving license was obtained by fraud, change in condition on which driving license was granted and those who have left the country and were unable to return as their residence was not renewed. 

The traffic department will be strict in granting driving licenses to expats in future to reduce congestion of traffic on Kuwait streets.
