We are pleased to announce that, in collaboration with the KAUST Smart team, we are launching a new feature in the KAUSTCentral app that allows you to view your existing driving permit or apply for a new one.
With the new feature, the following enhancements are being implemented:
- Community members who hold a valid KAUST driving permit can see the related icon for which they have a permit on the top right corner of their KAUST ID within the KAUSTCentral app. Upon expiry, a red dot will appear on the icon. By tapping the icon with red dot, you will see the expiry date. Community members who choose to renew their permit can contact HSE for assistance.
- Community members can also apply for a new KAUST driving permit directly through the KAUSTCentral app. To apply, login to the app, click “Driving Permit” and then “My Driving Permit” to access the form. You can also apply by visiting the HSE website and filling out the online application form.
- Information about KAUST road safety measures can be accessed using the KAUSTCentral app by clicking on the “KAUST Road Safety Code” inside the “Driving Permit” feature.
If you hold a valid KAUST driving permit and the related icon does not show up on your KAUST ID within the KAUSTCentral app, please contact HSE for assistance at hse@kaust.edu.sa with a copy of your KAUST Driving Permit.
Community members are encouraged to read the recent announcement about the new requirements for gas-powered scooters and drivers in KAUST. Community members currently driving gas-powered scooters using a KAUST driving permit must transition to a Saudi Motorcycle Driving License by December 31, 2024.
