Hi All,

Just wondering can women get driver licenses in Kuwait? If yes
How long will it take to get one?

Cheers

They can, depending on the profession and status.

ya I was into the same topic, from my little knowledge about Kuwait, women in Kuwait can drive, and if non-working wife with kids sponsored by the husband, I think she should get DL easily for the sake of kids .... Please, some body corrects me if I'm wrong, I'm just talking logic here.

Officially "housewives with school-going children" can apply for a driving license. Now whether it will be approved or not is up to the whim of the person in charge at the time you hit the counter.

As always, wasta goes a long way.
