Ministry to cancel car registration if owner don't have valid driving license

Ministry of Interior has started the implementation of a new mechanism that prevents citizens and expatriates from renewing the registration of their cars or buying new cars without a valid driving license.

Local media reported that the driving license will be withdrawn from whosoever changes his
job.

As per a circular issued by the Directorate General of Service Centers, a citizen or an expatriate will not be allowed to renew the registration of his car or buy new car if he doesn’t hold a valid driving license.

With regard to an expatriate changing his jobs, the circular indicated he won’t be able to obtain a new driving license unless the new job designation meets the relevant condition for obtaining license.
