Renew a Learner's License in Kuwait

If your learner's permit runs out before you have passed your tests, the GDT renewal is quick: a printed form, ID copies and photos, plus the renewal fee.

The learner's permit is what you receive after the medical exam in New driving license. It is the document you need before you can sit the driving tests, so keep it valid while you practise.

How to renew

  1. Print the learner's renewal form.
  2. Add your documents: Civil ID copy, passport copy and two photos.
  3. Pay the renewal fee at the GDT.
