Who Can Apply?
If you’re 18 or older and living in Abu Dhabi, you’re eligible to apply. New applicants will first receive a probationary license until they turn 21. After that, it becomes a full license. The emirate offers different categories depending on the type of vehicle:
– Light Vehicle License
– Motorcycle License
– Taxi and Limousine License
– Driving Instructor License
How to Get a Driving License in Abu Dhabi – Step-by-Step
Register with a Driving School: Your journey starts with registering at a certified driving school. This is where you’ll attend theoretical classes and begin hands-on training.
Do an Eye Test: An eye test is mandatory and must be done at an approved clinic or through the driving school itself. The results will be submitted electronically to your traffic profile.
Get Your Learner’s Permit: Once your eye test is complete, you’ll be issued a learner’s permit. This lets you begin official driving classes and take internal assessments.
Complete Training and Internal Exams: You’ll go through both theory and practical classes, including parking and simulator sessions, followed by internal evaluations to ensure you’re ready for the road.
Final Assessment & Driving Test: After training, you’ll apply for a final driving test conducted by Abu Dhabi Police or authorized examiners. If you pass, you’ll receive your official driving license in Abu Dhabi.
Already Have a Foreign License? Here’s an Easier Way
If you have a valid foreign driving license, you might be eligible for the Golden Chance program. This allows you to skip the training and directly take the test. If you pass—you’re licensed!
To qualify:
– Must be over 18
– Foreign license must be from an approved country
