The Ministry of Interior has set a new validity period for driving licenses. If you’re Kuwaiti the driving license is valid for 15 years while if you’re an expat it’s valid for 5 years. Used to be 10 years before for expats then they decided to make it 1 year for some reason which overwhelmed the traffic departments, 5 years now doesn’t seem to bad and at least we can now get the physical copies again.

You can use the electronic copy of your driving license on Kuwait Mobile ID. If you need a hard copy, there is a KD 10 fee, and you must visit your traffic department, as the driving license printing machines in malls are not available for expats.
Yes we know
Has it not been 5 years validity since end March or early April. A friend informed me and renewed back then.
I think it was 2 or 3 years
My friend got back from vacation on 27 April, the same day he renewed and got 5 years validity. Not sure, why it was reported yesterday while the new rules are already implemented.
