Female Driving License Application

As part of Government Affairs initiative to provide quality services to the KAUST community, we are pleased to announce a simplified process for KAUST female drivers to obtain a Saudi driving license.

Working closely with all concerned entities (Ministry of Interior, Traffic Department, driving schools, etc.), we are pleased to inform you that the KAUST Driving Permit is now recognized by the Traffic Department and requires only 6 hours (2 days) of training sessions instead of 30 hours (3 weeks) after assessment.
