Kuwaiti Interior Ministry authorities have denied reports of banning the renewal driving licences of expatriates, dismissing such reports as ““All what was circulated is incorrect".

Kuwaiti media carried reports that traffic authorities had temporarily halted renewal of driving licences for all expatriates in the country pending a new system to revoke licences of the ineligible ones.

However, the Interior Ministry said there is no decision or circular issued to stop or withdrawing expatriates’ driving licences.

The ministry explained that traffic authorities in coordination with the Department of Information Systems had carried out a “routine procedure” to update data of the issued driving licences replacing the old documents with smart ones, Al Rai newspaper reported .

The ministry’s Security Media Department said: “Anyone among foreign residents found to have obtained the driving licence illegally will have it withdrawn and be liable to legal action.”
