The Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Maj Gen Abdelfattah Al-Ali said the Traffic Department is preparing to revoke driving licenses of expatriates who obtained the license while they were studying in local universities and also the driving license of working ladies who obtained the license while they were housewife.

The ministry of interior has the right to cancel the drivers license if the conditions related to providing them are no longer applicable. He clarified that the driving licenses are contracts issued according to certain conditions, and if these conditions are changed, the ministry will have the right to revoke the licenses.

He said they have the right to apply for new driving licenses or exchange the ones they have when they submit proper documents, especially a university degree and a KD 400 minimum salary certificate.
