When your Driving Licence is LOST

When your Driving Licence is LOST:

Here is what I did ; (sharing with others for future reference in QL)-
1. Went to Traffic deptt at Madinat Khalifa (DL department), informed the person at desk of missing my DL and need for a new DL. She told to bring-
(a) Letter from sponsor (i assume NOC letter)
(b) Computer no (I assume sponsor ID/ sponsor's reg no with MOI)
(c) One self photograph

2. I assumed they'll print the DL for me without much fuss as I had photocopy of it. So, not logically satisfied, I tried to take a chance at other traffic deptt too, and marched to Old-Airport traffic office (DL deptt) . Same routine and guess what, they gave me a temporary permit, charging 10 QR, for 2 week (to drive) and advised to collect DL after 2 weeks ( will cost 250 QR).
I was happily amazed !!!!

PS : you can try other office too if you are logically not satisfied with the previous one.

there's not any concept of X or Y in traffic dept, they will issuce ur DL upon the NOC provision of current sponsor.

so you have provided them with documents what they required, & a letter of NOC is must if ur under company's sponsorship, same implies to buy the car also. Govt. employee doens't require noc's!

If someone doesn't have D/L at all then the probability of losing it is 0, isn't it?
