New Physical Driving Licenses for Expatriates in Kuwait: All You Need to Know
Introduction
The Ministry of Interior in Kuwait is set to introduce physical driving licenses for expatriates. This move aims to address issues with digital licenses, especially for those traveling outside Kuwait.
Reasons Behind the Change
The decision to implement physical driving licenses stems from feedback received by the General Traffic Department. Expatriates leaving Kuwait by land have faced challenges, as many Gulf and Arab countries do not recognize the digital licenses available on the “Kuwait Mobile ID” app. This has led to numerous violations and inconveniences.
Proposed Fees
To cover the costs associated with the production of these physical ID licenses, the Ministry is proposing a fee ranging from 10 to 30 Kuwaiti dinars. This fee will encompass the expenses for raw materials, equipment, and inks necessary for creating the licenses.
Continued Use of Digital Licenses
Despite the introduction of physical licenses, digital licenses on the “Kuwait Mobile ID” app will remain valid within Kuwait. Traffic and rescue patrols will continue to accept these digital forms of identification.
