Hello,

I have recently come to Doha Qatar.

Can someone guide me about latest procedure for converting my driving license from Saudi Arabia to Qatar ?

Do I need to handover the Saudi license or just show it for verification ?

Expecting your comments/advise.

Thanks.

Another thing that i want to know is whether I need to visit any driving school or directly approach the traffic department in Madinat Khalifa ?

Thanks for the information.

I was worried because one of the driving school person told me that only UAE license gets converted not Saudi.

And in middle east rules can change any time without any notice.

some people thinking, to get Qatar D/L it is necessary to surrender GCC license, there is no rules like that, some times officer forget to return your original after verification, you can ask him for your license, if you send your company PRO tell him to return your license otherwise he will tell you that withhold by officer to hide his mistake. (normally they miss it somewhere and saying it is taken by police) I am not saying about all PRO's few careless people only.

My friend, You can show your saudi license for verification to the Traffic department and you will get your qatar temporary license first. After your RP and ID, you will get your permanent licence.

The thing is you can keep both saudi and qatar licenses with you.
