whps_23

I used to Live in saudi. Now moved to Dubai,So i wanted to know if its possible to renew my Saudi License .

P.S- I left Saudi in Exit last year and no longer have an Iqama and my Driving License is Expired.

Can anyone share their insights ?

I got my license renewed in Dec 2021.

My case is as follows.

I already got a license issued in 2015 but this had expired because I went for exit. Also I lost my license original and did not have a copy.

1.Below is the address of the driving school I visited.

بالقرب من, Al Takhassousi, حي النخيل, جبل الزيتون, Riyadh

2. I booked an appointment for license renewal on absher app and got an appointment after 11 days.

3. I payed 200 SAR online for the renewal of license of online payment.

4. I took a medical test before going to the test center. This cost me 100 SAR. I got this done at test center in Hara behind Malaz restaurant.

5. I went to the driving school on the day of appointment. My appointment was at 10 am. I reached at 10.40 am and they did not let me through. I asked a few other people and it seemed that some people were not able to go even at 10 am. So make sure you reach the school at 7.30 am in the morning irrespective of your appointment time.

6. I got a green file prepared from one of the offices outside. They took 10 Riyal for this.

7.These  where the documents  prepared  in the green file.

a)
A form prepared by the man in the office which states  the iqama number and  purpose of visit.

b)
Photo attached to  this form  (please  take  2 passport photos  just  in case.


c)
Copy of current  iqama


d)
Copy of previous expired  iqama


E)
Appointment  print out from Absher.


8.  I took these documents to building number 1 and waited for my turn.


9. Upon my turn  I was asked to give another 180 SAR made  only through a Mada  card . This payment CANNOT  be made online  or  with  cash or by another card except  MADA.  THIS  180  is only applicable to thos whose  driving license has ALREADY  EXPIRED.  For those people whoare  renwing  a valid license due to change of iqama  this fees is not appilcable.


10. Once submitted  I got the  license in  5 minutes  Alhamdulillah .



Please make sure to reach the  school at 7.30  am for better  chance of getting your license on the same day. Other wise you will have to suffer  like me and many other who had to go twice or thrice to get things done.


Also the rules keep changing so  I can  only be sure of the process as of today..

Your employer doesn't give you a license.  You apply for one as per the steps in the previous post.
