Hello,

I have a UK driving license and want to change to it a Qatari one. What do I need to do?

I know that I have to go to the Ministry of Transport and do an eye test, is there anything else I should know.

I have my RP, do I need to take passport photos?

If someone could let me know asap, as I am planning to go there on Sunday morning.

If anyone has been through the process, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

It's simple. Take two photos, original uk license and Qatari ID to traffic office (near immigration round about). They will give you a simple form to fill in. After filling the form have an eye test (at the same office). Take all these docs to the service counter and your license will be converted in 10 minutes.

Hope that helps.
