Usually the best way to find a driving instructor is by personal recommendation from a friend who has recently got his/her licence.

The driving school also maintains a list of instructors, but, from what I have heard, this list is not updated regularly.

I got my licence many years back and I doubt if my instructor still teaches.

ThankQ very much @Farhaz for your valuable Information!!!

I will appreciate if any one of you share one of good teacher number!!!!!

My Bahrain driving licence has been expired in year 1993 and I was away at my country. Now again I got resident permit of bahrain up to 2019. I have valid driving licence of Pakistan. Can anyone please help me by telling that does my Bahrain driving license could be renewed after a long pause of 21 years.

I wanted to know what if my bahrain licence expires for Almost 3 years . what would i have to do

Did you get the same CPR number you had back in 1993, upon your return to Bahrain? If so, then you could go and speak to the Traffic Directorate to see if you could simply renew your long expired driving licence. You may have to pay fines for non-renewal perhaps.

On the other hand, if you have a new CPR number, then unfortunately you may have to start the process all over again. But its best you check with the Traffic Directorate in either case.

Please do let us know their response for everyone's benefit.

Thanks and good luck!

Hello ..

year ago i used to live in the states and of course i used to drive a car there now it is expired and there is no plan to travel to the states to renew my license and if you are wondering am living now in the only place in the world where you can't drive a car KSA...

So am planning to visit Bahrain for this particular reason SO since i did have a driving license yet it is expired do i still have to take the test to issue a new one or i can just pay for a bahraini driving license?

Thanks,

Dear razan123,

to apply for a driving license in Bahrain  you need to have a VALID resident permit and CPR. Only people of few countries have the privileged of getting a local driving license without a test, if your not from those countries you need to take a test.

the list of countries are mentioned in this link
http://www.traffic.gov.bh/view/licenses … g-license/

good luck!

Being from the US you don't need a new license in Bahrain, but since it is expired you would be breaking the law by using it.  I know the DMV back home isn't the easiest place to deal with, but perhaps you could ask them if there is a way to renew or get a temporary without going home. 

Honestly, I would think they would say no, but there is no other way to legally drive here.

Hope you can figure something out!

Isn't the max validity of CPR for 2 years ?

CPRs are issued for 5 years.

Hi to all,

My bahrain driver's license expired last February 2013. Is it possible to renew it? I still have valid cpr though.

  If you Have valid Visa , then there's no issue to renew your Expired driving License ( 10BD Fine will be there for every year delay )


"Im talking about valid visa"

Do you also need your DL to be taken by someone else on behalf of you?!

Have you searched in the forum? There are countless posts and recommendations made regarding this.

Can I get the driving licence test date early ? Any hope or anyone who can suggest me something or someone who have strong reference in the department to get it done ... I mean the test date !!!

Please reply !!!!


Thanks !!

Please help

Hi,

Don't think can expired license will count, but do visit the traffic directorate in isa town to find out more, if anyone else has got more info i am sure they will reply back!

good luck

T&R

I think if the the driving license has expired then it will not be counted , however you may have to do bare minimum classes (i.e. 8) and then you can go for test. this is what i heard from one of my friend who moved from Dubai and had slimier case. but its always better to check with traffic directorate.
