These are what you need to do for driving license;
1. Prepare these documents with you;
- Application form, can be downloaded here:
Use google translate for helping you filling up the form or ask one of your Saudi friends.
- Photo copy of the passport
- Photo copy and original iqama
- Photo six pieces, iqama size, white background (bring it more, just in case)
- Letter from company to traffic office.
- Copy of blood certificate.
- Copy and original home country driving license.
- Translation of your home country driving license by certified translator. You can use translator on one of shops at the gate of Dallah Takashusi driving school. Please look only for the certified one. Fee 25 SAR.
- Put all documents in the green file. This green file can be obtained from photo copy shop at the gate of Dallah. They also can help you filling up the form in Arabic for 10 SAR, and 3 SAR for the file.
2. Try to show up before 07.00 at Dallah Takhasushi, and strike hall 2. Once they open the hallÂ’s door (probably at 7) go inside and search for a seat close to the stamp counter (it is the counter that has eye test equipment). Here you would have all documents stamped.
3. From hall number 2 you would probably asked to hall 4 for simple driving test (probably just few meters drive forward). Bring all documents with you and wait for your turn.
4. After driving test, you will be asked to comeback to hall 2, for license check (it is opposite of document check counter). Here they would check your home country driving translation.
5. Then, after all checked. They would ask you to pay for driving course fee 100 SAR. It is on the left of this counter. If you can finish all of steps above before 09.00, then you would have a chance to be enrolled in 15.00 PM schedule class on that day. If not, then you would probably will be enrolled in 09.00 class next day. You would know once you pay your driving lesson fee, and receive the receipt. This receipt valid for 6 months. It means you can come at any day within 6 months at the scheduled class.
6. After finishing your 1 hour class at hall 5, then they would ask you to do computer exam test. Here you will be given 20 questions in 30 minutes. You need only 15 questions correct. If you answer 6 questions incorrect, you will be failed. TIPS: use delay question button if you unsure/ do not know the answer.
7. If you pass computer test, then again they would ask you for another driving test. You will be asked to drive more and less 1 km away.
8. If you have done all the formalities successfully, they will direct you to hall 1 for your driving license. But, first you need to pay to SaudiÂ’s government for your driving license. You can pay your driving license fee before you come to Dallah Takhasushi at ATM/phone banking by using your iqama number.
Hope it will be Helpful for all the newcomers !! Safe Driving.
Cheers....
