If your license was issued after 2013, please check the validity of driving now to avoid being deported
The Ministry of Interior warns motorists against violating traffic laws and committing serious infractions, emphasizing potential severe consequences, including administrative deportation, especially for those driving without a valid license.
The source highlights the importance for expatriates to verify their driving license validity using either the “Kuwait Mobile ID” or “Sahel” applications. Additionally, some expatriates might be unaware of their driving licenses being withdrawn without their knowledge for various reasons. Merely holding a license does not exempt them from penalties, including potential deportation.
The source reveals that 145 expatriates faced administrative action for driving without a valid license. The Ministry of Interior, through the General Traffic Department, regularly checks driving licenses. If specified conditions are not met or there are changes in the profession, especially for licenses issued after 2013, the license status will be marked as withdrawn in the “Kuwait Mobile ID” application.
