Kuwait Interior Ministry Announces Only Digital Licences for Expats Moving Forward
The Interior Ministry announced that physical driver’s licences will stop being issued for expatriates starting from December 10, 2023, and that the digital licence through the Kuwait Moblie ID app will only be used moving forward. The licence will be valid for one year and can be renewed through the Sahel app or on the ministry’s website.
Family drivers on Article 20 visas and international cargo truck drivers are exempt from the no physical licence condition, the ministry said. The license’s validity can be checked on the Moblie ID app, the ministry said, explaining that the green colour indicates that the licence is valid while red indicates that it is invalid. When travelling, expatriates can use licences issued by authorities in their respective countries, the ministry explained.
