Riyadh: Foreign drivers driving in Saudi Arabia have the facility to renew their licenses if they are abroad.
According to the details, the good news for foreign drivers is that they can renew their driving licenses even while living abroad. The Saudi Traffic Department also issued an explanation in this regard.
Saudi Arabia’s traffic department says foreigners living abroad can renew their driving licenses, for which drivers must send a “power of attorney.”
The department will renew the license after receiving the traffic permit.
It was also said that if an eye examination is necessary for the renewal of the license, then the foreigner can take the test from the Saudi consulate or embassy where he is present, after which a power of attorney has to be sent.
It should be noted that under Saudi law, there is a penalty for delay in renewal of driving license and vehicle ownership card ‘Astmara’, which can be renewed several weeks in advance.
