Obtaining Driving Licence
By Janine Bell •
Hi,
Could someone help as to how I obtain my Driving Licence in Qatar. I now have my RP and need to get this done as soon as possible. Where do I need to go and what documents do i need? I have a UK drivers licence.
Thank you!
actually when I did mine in December, I did my eye test (go to opticians, tell them it's for driving license, they take your ID and its logged electronically with MOI, 30 riyal or so if I remember). go to main traffic office and you can exchange license immediately. there is a fee. 250 I think? card only. uk license was a direct exchange back then. took me 30 minutes tops. rules are always changing though...let me know, my wife has just applied for rp so will be applying to exchange in couple of weeks. also ignore any advice to print the forms off and get it filled in in arabic at a typing office. that was half a day and some cash wasted as the traffic captain just looked at it and said oh we dont do the paper forms anymore....
