Overview
Obtaining or maintaining a Saudi driving licence involves several coordinated steps across different bodies: booking an approved driving school, passing the computer (theory) test and the practical road test, completing the medical examination at an approved centre linked electronically to your file, then finalising issuance and fee payment through the Absher platform under the General Department of Traffic (Muroor).
Omnera One manages the entire journey on your behalf: new private, motorcycle and heavy-vehicle licences, renewals for five or ten years, lost or damaged licence replacement, certified translation and conversion of foreign licences under the exchange rules for approved countries, international driving permits, and clearing licence fees or traffic-point issues that block a transaction.
For companies, we run drivers' licence compliance across the whole fleet — tracking expiry dates, renewing in bulk before deadlines, and ensuring every driver holds the correct licence class for the vehicle type — so operations never stop for an expired licence.
Who is this for?
Individuals — citizens and residents — applying for a first private or motorcycle licence, renewing, replacing a lost or damaged licence, or needing an international driving permit.
Newcomers and expatriates holding a foreign driving licence who want it translated by a certified translator and converted to a Saudi licence under the approved-country exchange rules.
Companies with drivers and vehicle fleets — logistics, delivery, transport and contracting firms — needing heavy-vehicle licences and ongoing licence-compliance management for their workforce.
Key Benefits
One accountable partner for the full journey — driving school, medical exam, tests and Absher issuance — instead of you chasing appointments across multiple systems.
Faster appointments: we secure driving-school enrolment and computer and practical test slots at the earliest available dates in your city.
Correct file from the first submission — medical exam uploaded electronically, photos, ID or Iqama and translations complete — so the transaction is not returned or delayed.
Expert handling of foreign-licence conversion: we verify whether your country is on the approved exchange list and whether a short assessment or full tests apply, then manage the certified translation.
Transparent costs: government fees — typically about SAR 40 per year of validity for renewal, and approximately SAR 100 for a replacement — are paid at cost and confirmed by your consultant before any payment.
Fleet compliance for companies: expiry tracking, bulk renewals and correct licence classes for every driver, with regular status reports to management.
How it works
Free consultation and eligibility check
We review your case — new issuance, renewal, replacement, foreign-licence conversion or international permit — confirm age and residency requirements, and check for traffic points or unpaid fees that could block the transaction.
File preparation and documents
We collect your ID or Iqama copy, personal photos and — for foreign-licence conversion — arrange the certified Arabic translation of your valid foreign licence, then prepare the complete file for submission.
Medical examination
We book your medical fitness exam (eyesight, blood pressure and general fitness) at an approved medical centre — appointments can be arranged through the Sehhaty app — and confirm the result is uploaded electronically to your file so Muroor can see it.
Driving school and tests
For new licences, we book your enrolment at an approved driving school via Absher, coordinate the training hours assigned after your evaluation, and arrange your computer (theory) test and practical road test appointments.
Fee payment and issuance via Absher
Once tests are passed (or renewal conditions met), we complete the transaction on Absher: pay the government fees at cost, select the validity period for renewals (five or ten years), and confirm issuance.
Delivery and follow-up
We arrange delivery of the licence card through the national address (Saudi Post – SPL) or collection, hand over confirmations, and for corporate clients we log the licence into your fleet-compliance tracker with its renewal date.
Requirements
Valid national ID (for citizens) or Iqama (for residents), with an active Absher account; under the Traffic Law the minimum age is 18 for private and motorcycle licences and 20 for public and public-works (heavy) licence classes.
Medical fitness examination completed at an approved medical centre and uploaded electronically to your file (required for new issuance and renewal).
For foreign-licence conversion: a valid (unexpired) foreign licence from a country recognised for exchange, with a certified Arabic translation covering both sides of the licence.
Settlement of any outstanding traffic violations, and a registered national address for licence-card delivery; for fleets, a list of drivers with their ID numbers and current licence classes.
What you receive
The issued or renewed Saudi driving licence (private, motorcycle or heavy class) delivered via the national address or collected, with proof of issuance from Absher.
A complete transaction file: medical exam confirmation, test results, certified translation (where applicable), fee receipts and the international driving permit if requested.
For companies: a fleet licence-compliance register listing every driver, licence class, expiry date and renewal schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Government renewal fees are typically about SAR 40 per year of validity — approximately SAR 200 for five years and SAR 400 for ten years for a private licence. Fees are paid at cost through Absher and confirmed by your Omnera One consultant before payment, alongside our service fee.
If your licence is valid and issued by a country recognised for exchange — such as GCC states and a number of other approved countries — you typically undergo only a short assessment rather than full training. Otherwise, abbreviated theory and practical tests may apply based on your evaluation. We verify your country's status and arrange the certified Arabic translation of your licence.
New applicants enrol at an approved driving school (booked via Absher), complete the training hours assigned after an initial evaluation, pass the computer (theory) test and the practical road test, complete the medical exam at an approved centre, then pay the fees and receive the licence. Omnera One books and coordinates every stage for you.
A replacement is one of the fastest transactions: we submit the lost/damaged replacement request through Absher, pay the government fee — approximately SAR 100, confirmed at cost by your consultant — and arrange delivery of the new card via the national address, typically within a few working days.
Yes. We maintain a compliance register for your fleet: verifying each driver holds the correct licence class (including heavy-vehicle licences), tracking expiry dates, renewing in bulk before deadlines, resolving traffic-point or fee issues, and reporting status to management on a regular schedule.
