Driving license can be renewed before 6 months?

 Driving license can be renewed for 5 and 10 years according to the traffic police law in Saudi Arabia. Earlier, the driving license was renewed only for five years, later it has been given the facility of different duration for the convenience of people.

A person on Twitter of the traffic police inquired, 'There are 3 months left for the expiration of the driving license, how long before it can be renewed?'

In response to the question, the traffic police said that according to the regulations, driving license can be renewed even before 180 days.

The renewal of the license will be counted from the same time as the expiry date of the old license and from that date the license is renewed for the required period.

Another person inquired about the vehicle ownership card which is called Istmara in Arabic, 'Istmara has been renewed by Abshar, is it necessary to print another card or not?'

In this regard, it has been said on the Twitter of the Traffic Police that there is no need to print another card after renewing the Istmara cards which do not have an expiry date.

While those cards which have an expiry date have to be printed in the system after renewing the card, before approaching the traffic police office in this regard, it should be ensured that the expiry date is recorded on the form or not. If not, it will be sufficient to renew the istamarah from the system only.
