Moi Retracts Earlier Decision On ‘my Identity’ Driving License

The Public Relations and Security Media Department of the Ministry of Interior (MOI) has retracted its announcement on the issue of carrying the driving license on the ‘My Identity’ application.

Earlier the ministry had said not carrying the original driver’s license and merely presenting the ‘digital’ vehicle driving license on ‘My Identity’ application was a violation of the law and the motorist was liable to pay KD 15 fine.

The officer at the Traffic Information and Awareness Department, Major Abdullah Abu Hassan, had said during an interview on Kuwait TV last Thursday that there is confusion among citizens about carrying the driver’s license on the ‘My ID’ application was a violation punishable by law under Article 36 (Paragraph 4) with a fine of KD 1.

He has said failure to carry a driver’s license was a traffic violation as well as an obstruction to the procedures of the security officer in the event of a violation that requires the withdrawal of the driver’s license, and therefore the (paper) driving license must be carried.

In a statement issued Sunday, the Public Relations and Security Media Department at the Ministry of Interior stated that “in the framework of achieving the future vision of the e-government and in implementation of the Cabinet’s decision to adopt My Identity application, the electronic driving license is valid and is treated as a driver’s license issued by the General Traffic Department that supports all electronic procedures that make it easier for citizens and residents to complete their transactions electronically.
