Post new topic

Verophoto

Hi travelled abroad and I always use my bahraini driving license but is expired maybe if I renew it I can have it send here in 4 days before I travel to abother country. Is it possible to have send to my apartment or office and someone else to receive it or I have to be there to receive it. Also how long will it take?

Is it possible to print any document that says my driving license is being processed?

Thank you,

V.

Hello,
In the below mentioned link navigate to Driving License renewal, go through the instructions it should give you more details, however since you mentioned about expiry not sure if they will entertain it over web, you can give it a shot.

You can renew online and have it shipped to whatever address you want.  It will take two weeks. 

The only way you can show it is in process is to take a screenshot of the web page which shows tracking of the license.   They won't give you a letter.

How to renewal my 3year expired Bahrain license now I am India

Neemish

If you are not a resident of Bahrain as of now and does not have a valid work/Investor/dependent permit in Bahrain you cannot renew the license. Once you come to Bahrain and become a resident you can approach the driving school and they will guide you on how to renew it. As the license has been expired for more than 2 years it is likely that they will ask you to pass a test.

Now I want to come there in Bahrain,

Can I renew my license without any test ?

Or need what kinds of test ?
