The Ministry of Interior is planning to introduce physical driving licenses for expatriates, with a proposed fee ranging from 10 to 30 dinars. This fee is intended to cover the costs of raw materials, equipment, and inks needed for the production of the physical ID licenses.

This decision is based on feedback received by the General Traffic Department, highlighting issues faced by expatriates when leaving Kuwait by land. Many Gulf and Arab countries do not recognize the digital driving licenses from the “Kuwait Mobile ID” app, leading to violations.

However, within Kuwait, digital licenses on the “Kuwait Mobile ID” app will continue to be accepted by traffic and rescue patrols.
