Kuwait: KD 10 Fee For Expat Driving Licence Printing
The Kuwaiti government has introduced a new KD10 fee for printing driving licences issued to expatriates, following Ministerial Decision No. 560/2025 issued by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al Sabah. The amendment, published in the official gazette Kuwait Al Youm, updates Ministerial Resolution No. 81/1976 by adding Clause No. 59 to Article 204-bis of the executive regulations of the Traffic Law. The decision tasks the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior with implementing the new rule, which comes into effect immediately from its publication date. Additionally, Ministry of Interior Undersecretary Lieutenant General Sheikh Salem Al Nawaf highlighted that the General Traffic Department (GTD) is committed to ensuring a balanced and humanitarian enforcement of traffic laws. Speaking at the opening of the 38th Unified Gulf Traffic Week at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, he emphasised that while traffic violations are taken seriously, measures for reconciliation are available, particularly for non-severe cases. However, he noted that severe violations leading to fatal accidents will incur the highest penalties. 'The goal of the new traffic law is to protect the lives of road users and reduce traffic accidents,' he stated. The new traffic law, set to take effect on April 22, includes measures to increase road safety and promote compliance. This year's Gulf Traffic Week, under the theme 'Driving without a Phone,' aims to enhance public awareness and foster a culture of safe driving across GCC nations.
