Okay, let’s talk about how I got my hands on a Kuwaiti driving license. It was a bit of a journey, but I made it happen.
Getting Started
First off, I headed over to Kuwait. Once I got there, I made sure I had my residency permit in order. That’s super important, you can’t do much without it. Then, I grabbed my civil identity card. This is basically your ID in Kuwait, and you need it for, well, everything.
Applying Online
With all my documents sorted, I jumped online and applied for the driving license. The whole process is online these days, which is pretty convenient. It felt like a breeze to be honest. They call it a “learner’s private driving license,” but don’t let that fool you, it’s the real deal.

Fees and Appointment
Of course, there were fees to pay. Nothing in life is free, right? I paid those fees online, no problem. Then, I got an appointment for the driving test. I have to say the whole procedure was a lot more smooth than I expected.
The Test
Next up was the test. I scheduled a time that worked for me. It seems to follow some articles in the Traffic Law. No biggie, just followed the rules. On the day of the test, I showed up, took the test, and passed it! Honestly, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Just gotta know your stuff and stay calm.
Success!
And that’s it! Now I’ve got my Kuwaiti driving license. Pretty straightforward, right? The online application made things a lot easier. The whole thing is in line with Kuwait’s Traffic Law, so everything’s legit.
