Driving licence
I am a citizen of the United States but born in Kuwait and graduated from New York, working as an assistant manager in a musical company in Kuwait with a salary of 350KD. I want to know if I am eligible to get a Kuwaiti driving license. I also have an American driving licence.

Answer: Under the Kuwait Traffic Department’s rules, Americans with an American license can get Kuwaiti driving licences without the need to meet any requirements. You only have to get an eye test. Everything said & done, the traffic department is said to have become very strict these days and you could run into unannounced restrictions. But you should go to the department and ask for the change in licence.
The Arab Times invites questions on all aspects of Kuwaiti law. If you face a problem, or need specific advice on any legal matter, from commercial and investment law to divorce and labour, send questions to the Managing Editor, Arab Times, P.O. Box 2270, 13023 Safat, Kuwait, or Fax to 24818267
