The Ministry of Interior has initiated a recent practice aimed at procuring two million smart driving licenses and associated printing materials for the General Traffic Department, reports Al-Qabas daily.

Three months ago, the Interior Ministry issued a directive to transition solely to electronic driving licenses for residents within the country, effective from October 12, 2023.

This decision eliminates the need for physical printing of licenses, with license renewal processes conducted electronically through the Ministry of Interior website and the government’s unified electronic services application, “Sahel.”

Applicants who meet the stipulated conditions and regulations will be accepted electronically, and their licenses will be activated through the Ministry of Interior’s documents within the “My Identity” application.
