US Drivers license holders need to go to Traffic School, this is a new rule going back a couple of months. European, Canadian, South African, Australian etc. Drivers License holders can get it straight away only getting an Eye Test done.

I am told that now people have to take a driving test, unless you know someone who knows someone.

Application form, two pictures, copy of Your ID/RP, copy of her ID/RP. There are men outside Licensing place that will translate your name and her name into Arabic on the application form. You have to sign it as her sponser.

If your are from the UK, US, Europe, Austrailia, NZ. Copy her driver's license from that county. She needs the original to be show at the License Dept. She'll have a eye test there. Pay the fees(don't know what they are now check the Marhaba book)wait and they give you the license then. Only debit cards no cash.

This is how I didn it 3 years ago. Don't think it's changed much. Maybe you can get the form at your Companey's HR?
