Just go to traffic deptment with Valid RP, 1 Photograph and eye test.

You can exchange it.

Traffic Dept. staff are friendly, so go there and get the exact info. It can be changed but they might ask for an RP in Qatar, not sure. Is this your habit? to move out after every six months!

It does not really matter whether it was taken 6 months or 6 days ago, what matters is you have got the licence!

Hi

Thanks for the prompt response,

I know that the Bahraini licence can be exchanged in Qatar at a small price.

Bt the licence is taken in Bahrain only 6 months back.

So will the Qatari authorities allow this to be exchanged?

Just go with your Bahrain license to the main Traffic Police office and they will guide you. I believe it can be exchanged, and there is a small fee involved.
