Does anyone know the process of replacing an old/damaged license plate? I’m currently in the process of restoring a car and I need to replace the front license plate with a new one since the one on the car currently is bent and worn out. I’ve only ever gone through the process of swapping a square plate to a Euro-style license plate so not sure what the process is for replacing a worn-out plate (if thats possible even).

My car plates were either lost or stolen back in 2018.
A replacement for a damaged car plate might be nearly the same.
I posted about the whole ordeal here: https://kuwestions.mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com/8337/my-car-plates-got-stolen-what-do-i-do
It might give you a general idea of the process.
My license plate fell off and I needed a replacement so I guess it’s the same procedure
– first went to the local police station to get a paper that shows I lost my front plate and excused to drive around without one (for a limited time)
-Went to traffic department of Al-Assima مرور العاصمة
-asked around and was led to the office of getting a new plate
-took a number and waited
-filled a paper with the clerk, he’ll tell you to buy a stamp and a copy of some of your IDs maybe even the daftar
-usual easy process to get them, outside if the main building there’s a small chinco that does it. Make sure you have quarters and half dinars in cash
-go back to the clerk, he’ll finish the papers
-walk outside and around the complex with the papers to get to the plate printing room
-hand them ur papers, and just wait a couple of min. The actual making of a new plate is super fast
I think you can skip the first step since yours isn’t completely lost
thanks, worst case i can actually accidentally lose my license plate
You don’t have to lose the plate, they’ll replace the plate if it’s damaged. It’s called “بدل تالف”.
thanks!
I replaced it recently, you need to go to Asma maroor & make paper for “Badal Talif” . – whole procedure took me 2hrs.
gonna try it out although I think I might be banned from asima maroor
what have you done lol
I can’t say or I might never get my Datsun’s car registration renewed

I got mine replaced 2 days ago,
If you want to replace your license plate you have to go to the your local traffic department, in my case it was Hawally traffic department in Jabriya and fill in a form which the printing desks in the traffic department will help you with.
You will need a copy of your civil ID and a copy of the registration. Then pay 2.5 KD stamp (For Kuwaitis) I’m not sure about foreigners.
3 documents and 2.5KD stamp :
1 copy of your civil ID
1 copy of the car’s registration
A filled in damaged car license plate form.
Once you have all your paper work ready you must get them signed by some head of department. Once you get it signed there’s an office in the traffic department dedicated to license plates they will hand you a receipt which you will have to take the to the Capital’s traffic department in Shuwaikh where they will give you your new license plate within minutes.
If you’re replacing your damaged license plates you will need to unscrew them and give them the old damaged ones before you receive the new ones.
