Converting a foreign driving license in Saudi Arabia
Residents who hold a license from an eligible country can replace it with a Saudi license.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the documents include a translation of the foreign license together with the original.
The appointment is booked through Absher under Appointments, then Traffic, then Replace driving license.
Other documents commonly requested include a copy of the Iqama, an employer letter, personal photos, a medical examination and payment of the fee.
Some official guides mention that the translation must be attested. Check the requirements shown on your appointment, and tell us if you need help with the next step.
