A couple of weeks ago the Ministry of Interior announced that expats are now able to get a physical driving license printed for a KD 10 fee. A lot of people were asking what the process was, and thanks to the Reddit user InsecureInflux, there are now instructions. Here are the steps he took to get his physical driving license:
- Go to your respective Muroor.
- Visit the typing section and request a physical license.
- Provide your civil ID and license; they’ll type out a form for you (fee: KD 1).
- Take the form to one of the counters inside; they’ll give you a paper with your license details.
- Take both papers to the stamping officer; pay KD 10 for the stamp.
- Obtain the manager’s signature on the stamped papers.
- Submit the signed papers at one of the counters.
- Wait approximately 10–15 minutes to receive your printed license.

Mark have you verified yourself that this is the actual process?
nope, my license expires end of the month so will go through this process next month
why cant we just pay the 10 kd online and go and collect it from the self service kiosk itself? saves a lot of time and omits all the manual processes mentioned.
if you renew your license now it automatically renews for 5 years?
yes
yes 5years.
Do we have to have a physical licence? I have mine on the mobile app.
No it’s optional
Good if you travelling and they need to verify your driving license.
Thanks Mark. I can confirm that the steps listed above is the current process. I have got my physical driving license last week from Ahmadi muroor following the same.
