Obtaining a Driver's License in the UAE
A foreign tourist in the UAE may drive using a valid driver's license from their home country.
However, upon obtaining a UAE residence visa (and Emirates ID), it is illegal to continue driving with a foreign license.
All UAE residents must obtain a local UAE driver's license.
Procedure for Obtaining a Driver’s License in the UAE:
Mandatory Training: Even experienced drivers with a foreign license must complete training at a licensed driving school.
Theoretical Exam
Vision Test
Practical Driving Test
License Exchange Option: Citizens of certain countries may exchange their foreign license for a UAE one without taking the practical or theoretical exams.

Questions & Answers
A UAE driver's license is initially issued for 2 years. Upon renewal, it is then issued for a 5-year period.
In the UAE, police do not typically stop vehicles for random license checks. Enforcement usually occurs following an accident or a major traffic violation. Consequently, some residents delay obtaining a local license.
However, to drive legally and avoid severe penalties, we strongly recommend obtaining a UAE driver’s license.
Driving without a valid local license can result in substantial fines, vehicle impoundment, or even imprisonment.
