Exchanging GCC driver's license to Qatar
By Orlando13P •
Is there a new ruling regarding exchanging GCC drivers licence to Qatar license....some people telling that it is not allowed to exchange GCC drivers license and have to take full course to take new license
except for Saudi license, all other gcc licenses is accepted. they removed Saudi license only very recently. My colleague's application with Saudi license was rejected 2 days back n that's when we came to know. Cheers mate.
yes asifkpa mentioned that he managed to exchange his Saudi licence in March. The traffic guy told me that they stopped accepting Saudi Licence after Eid this year 2-3 weeks ago. Told me that I could go do a direct test but will get 1 try and if failed will have to do full course. I don't think they will create issue with UAE one. Best of luck.
profX, khan 3031 telling that saudi license have some issue.....i am holding UAE driver's license...
I went to Moroor myself with my valid Saudi License and was told that it is no longer accepted. They informed me that the policy changed recently. Asked to go to Driving School.
Thanks everyone....i will come back to you soon...
Sorry not my UAE DL, I used my Saudi DL as I was fearing they may take my UAE DL and exchange with a Qatari DL.
I got a Qatar Driving licence by just showing my valid UAE DL and paying the necessary fees in March 2015, in my knowledge there is no change in the rule so far.
To do this, please visit the Traffic Department HQ in Madinat Kalifa, with a typed in form, 2 passport photographs and company NOC.

Issue with Saudi License Only
Doha-Indian has provided you complete information no any inputs required..
Doha-Indian: Well said. It's always better to get information first hand from authorities where possible.
@Orlando better not to go by peoples comments or advices in certain cases. The deciding authority is the Traffic Dept. Take the original GCC DL you have and go personally to the Moroor as they call it (Traffic Dept.) and make an enquiry. It is possible to transfer but depends on various factors like which GCC country, your visa status and also your profession in the RP if it has been stamped :-))
