After long run Alhamdulillah I passed the exam of driving license on (16-02-2010). I struggled to pass it. I don’t want anyone to struggle like me. If you are planning to get a driving license in Jeddah then this is the post for you. I will try to write the procedure you should follow for applying and obtaining a driving license.
Applying Procedure
1. You need 1 set of photocopy of your passport.
2. You need 1 photocopy of your IQAMA (ID card).
3. You need 6 passport size pictures.
4. You need to make a file with all this document and fill the application
form. You need 400 SR for the license which you have to pay in Bank or you pay to dalal 50 SR they will do the payment for you.
Best way to do this you should give 10 SR to a dalal there they
will fill the form for you and make the file ready.
5. Those guys will tell where should you go. After that each counter of the dallah will give you all the direction of which counter you go.
6. After that they will take a small test of reverse parking. Note: Remember to put seat belt and check the mirrors. Those car is new Camry Car. So careful about the accelerator. It’s so soft. Most of the people mistakes car starts goes off. This is really bad luck.
7. After the test they will give you a mark from four (أ,ب,ض,ج).
أ = 1 day class
ب = 5 days class
ض = 15 days class
30 days = ج 1 month class
8. After that you have to pay for the class which is 435 SR.
9. Then they will give you the class and all the instructions you need.
Passing Tips
1. Don’t be afraid in front of police. Most of the people they afraid and there leg shakes. And then they failed.
2. For signal test in the class they will tell you the same questions which
will appear in the exam. They will tell you the first 10 questions which
will appear in the exam. So try to note those questions and buy a signal paper.
You cant do a mistake in first 10 questions. You have choice of 5 mistakes after
The 10 question but not the first 10 questions. So don’t do any mistake that time.
Best of luck for your exam. If you need any information just post a comment.

I would like to give you the update information to facilitate you for any innconveniance/bother. All above information is very unique what my brothers noted in this blog but now a days some of them have changed.
when intend to take admission for license you should take Passport, Iqama Photo copy and six pictures. as you reached to Dallah there are many dalal will follow you but I inform the educated people who can fill their forms by self that don’t go with them enter directly to Office by yourself and also help other if they meet you there.
you take forms from the information counter (the 1st one) and fill it by yourself there is notthing difficult if not possible then then check a arabic person sit in the waiting chairs and request him to fill your forms. then they give you another form and send you for medical room but it will be good if you know your Blood Group you only tell him you blood group and then you will be check by eye doctors then go back to this information counter and then enter to initial Driving test ground they will check you driving that how many days will be fit for you (in this case you should be careful when you get down to car fasten your belt and arrange side and midle miror) when they write training days on your form.
Then you will be refer to driving fee counter, you submit only your school fees by your self not by dalal bcz they charge extra 50 riyal and not submit the license fee bcz the dalal charge 50 riyal more for the license. when you submitt your school fee then go to Al Raji bank or Al Riyadh bank but 1st check your friends who have ATM Card of the mentioned bank and submitt your fees direct (80 Riyal for 2 years, 200 Riyal for 5 years and 400 Riyal for 10 year license).
This is very easy to pass driving test but it depend on your confidence. you must keep your confidence up. after finishing driving school you will be advised to come this date.
you should reach at 7 O’clock bcz after 7 they close the gate and start some dua if you remember and pray to Allah to pass you easily and bring this exam easy for you. when you sit with police for try, recite 4 last sura and blow it to police and gurented say that you will be sucess but with this you should follow the below points:
1. Fasten your belt
2. arrange all miror according your choice
3. Your set adjustment.
4. check hand break.
5. give small accelator to conform that car is switch on or not.
6. be careful when you pass the signs. you should stop if necessary when you see signs.
After pass the drivinig test you will be inform to go Room No.8 this the computer signals room. when you stand in frot of computer you must recite some quran verses or surat or dua and start with name of Allah. I assure you that you will must pass when you start with name of Allah and dua. now a days they changed the computer procedures. you have to allowed 5 mistak and you can do mistake any where i.e in 1st step or after 10 now no problem. but you will have only 30 minutes and you should salove 15 question in this time. therefore when you sure on your answer click the right answer bcz you have alot of time. I finish my computer with in 8 minutes. don’t be affraid.
I wish you best of luck with acquiring your driving license.

How to get a driving license in Riyadh,Saudi Arabia?You need to go to Dallah driving school which is near Dallah Hospital on King Fahad Highway. Take any taxi and ask him to take you there. |
| Before going to the License Office you need following things:
1. Original Iqamah. |
|
|
| Once you have above mentioned things, just take a taxi and ask him to take you to Old Dallah Driving School. Taxi will take 15-20 Saudi Riyals. You are suggested to go there earlier in the morning (reach by 7 am).
Now go to shop next to the entrance gate. (You will be approached by persons for license payment in bank. They will asking 430 SR or 450 SR as fees for bank payment. Dont turn to them as you had already completed that in Item #8) From shop, you will get application form which will be filled for you in Arabic then and enclosed in file cover . Total cost for you is 15 riyals |
| Now go to Room number 2 in the license office. The person on extreme left will do Eye-sight test. The person on extreme right counter will check your forms, stamp and send you to “License Check” counter. Here one more person will put a stamp on your application and send you for “first try”. This trial place is behind the building where you are standing.
There will be a car or more and person will be sitting inside. He will ask you to drive the car a little ahead and then reverse a little. Don’t worry it is just to see whether you have ever touched the car or not. The person inside will make his comments on your application. |
| Now come back to room # 2 and deposit SR 100. He will take your file and ask you to attend a 3 hour class. There will be a three hour class in which you will be taught the basics and after that there will be a computer test. Attend the class very carefully and also read all the things written on front and backside of the chart they give you during the class.
The questions will be mainly Identification of different signals and general driving rules. Signals & Traffic Rules can be viewed from Riyadh Traffic Site |
| The questions that are going to be asked for the touch screen computer test, will be mentioned during the class by the training instructor. After class they will take you to a room where you will wait for the test to start.
There would be 20 questions and you have to answer them in 30 minutes. If you make any mistake in the first ten questions, then you are failed. In next 10 questions you have to give only five correct answers. If you clear the computer test then they will test your driving. Congratulations, if you clear the test. By the way, it is very easy test. You just have to drive the car for some meters or you might have to do some simple reverse etc. Cars are of model “Cadillac Custom/Camry 2006”. Cars are with gears; not automatic. |
| Go to room number 1 (main room) and just on your left there is a place where “License Delivery” is written. Get your counter number from here and the go to the counter. Now wait until they deliver you the New Driving License.
Congratulations!!! You can drive the car in Kingdom for the next 10 years from Now. |

Taxi fare (1 day) = 30 SR |
Assalam O Alaikum Brother !
I have full UK driving License. I have just 2 questions,
1) Can I change the UK driving license in to Jeddah, Saudia Arabia driving license.
2) My Saudia Arabia driving License is expired just 2 month ago, what is the procedure for the renewal of it.
@ zakir
I will be very grateful for this
waiting for your reply
Thanks and regards
@habeeb,
Waalikum Assalam. No you are not permitted to go outside. Only he will test 8 or bridge or back parking or all of them. It depends. But not out of those 3. It’s very easy. Best of luck….:)
salam bhai, i have joined the madrsa it is of 10 days, and 8 days are completed, my timing is 4 to 9 pm. I was seeking a small information that on the the test day what will the inspector ask to do will he make us go outside the driving school premises or will he take it inside itself and if inside what kind of like in 8 or x or kubri? pls help me regarding this i am just left with 2 days.
@Nadeem,
Yup. Any type of physical disability.
Brother,
You mean physical disability right.
@Syed,
Waalikum Assalam. No you will get another chance for giving the signal test again if this is your first time. You don’t have to pay for 2nd chance. But 3rd time I think you have to pay again.
@Nadeem,
Waalikum Assalam. Yup there is. But I think it depends on physical unavailability. Please recheck it from Dallah.
Brother Admin Salaam,
Is there an option for automatic car driving license only.
Thanks,
Salam , today i have gave my driving test i have passed . but i have failed in the signal test do i have to pay again the 435sr
Thanks for the info @ zakir .. i really appreciate that… i guess thats a good news about there are automatic cars aswell. what is the best time to go for the medical stuff and to make a file ? early in the morning or what ?
@khan , there are automatic cars also but then u will have specified that u are taking automatic car license.
NOTE: with manual car license u can drive . manual and automatiic both.
BUT
with autmatic car liscense , u Can’t drive manual u are only fixed for automatic car
@khan ,
If u know Proper driving u can obtain license in 2 days,
if not then u have to struggle like I am .
the procedure of making file and medical is not difficult
u need 4 photos , ikama copy, Passport copy , blood test report , take these things to Dallah , u will find people outsid of Dallah who makes file . Just give them 10 riyals they will make Proper file for u ,
Take that file inside Dallah room number 2 , there officer will put 1 stamp on your file.
then u will go back side of dallah there u will have . 1 some driving test . ( IN THE TEST U HAVE TO DRVIE THE CAR IN L SHAPE AND REVRSE IT IN THE SAME L SHAPE ) here the officer will make a remark that are u perfect or not .
if u didnt get madrasa u will get next day time to perform computer and driving test.
@Rashad, Brother I dont know the procedure but today Inshallah I will try to collect information from Dallah and I will let u soon ,
Day 6,
yesterday was they only told about signals. no driving,
they told all ten questions which are going to come for computer test . the Questions exactly same as already mentioned in this blog by Mr. Hussain.
Anybody looking for a joint venture to the Dallah driving school to get the license let me know !
Zakir@ I am also thinking to try for driving license, Was the procedure of getting the file done & medical hard or what ?
I went near Dallah School twice but both times when i went there it was filled up and i didnt bothered to waste my time there.
Please update me with your experience asap.
Hello Brothers, What are the timings of Dallah ?
And the cars for test are they only Manual transmission cars or are there automatic tranmission cars aswell ?
Hmm i havent driven a manual in years now. It can be really hard for me to drive a manual cars after so many years.. :S
@Zakir
Can you ask the procedure for a Dubai License holder from the Madrasah for me
@Admin
Thanks
@Rashad,
I am not sure what’s the procedure. But it won’t be hard like fresh driver.
@admin thanx , lets hope for the best
day 4, 5
got reverse training each person 2 time. Dallah give official time of training from 3 – 6 but the teachers finished the madrasa at 5 .. means every day 1 hour is wasted.
they are not atol teaching and nothing as expected.
Dear Admin,
thanks a lot for your blog. I hope that this information will help all the people who visits this. Here I have a question if you or Mr. Zakir can help me in this regard by asking the Driving school my question is as under.
“What will be the procedure and requirements for conversion of Dubai Driving license to Saudi License?”
as i have just came from Dubai here and want to have a DL
Thanks
@zakir,
Don’t be frustrated. Inshallah you will get the license. The classes are boring. But test is very easy and simple. Just don’t be afraid in front of police. People do mistake when they afraid. Nothing to be worried. Just drive normally. You will pass. I was also fresh driver. I applied and got 1 week class. After that I failed in front of police cause I afraid. Then again second test and in evolution I was much more confident and was normal. And Alhamdulillah I passed. Best of luck.
Day 3
no change in impact .. same 2 rounds for each person , no training . no lessons about driving .
@admin now am getting worried and frear that will i get the license . bcoz am totally fresh driver .
really am worried after spending alot of moneys if i didnt got the license . It will be really frustrating for me .
plz every body pray for me 🙁
@Adil,
Same for all.
Thanks
But what is the demand and prosedure for student driving licence
Day 2
was really hot sunny day , and there were alot of students to join the classes . Supervisor make attendance of every person . And all the students were divided into 5 parts
5 cars along with 5 teachers. So every one , make sure the instructor in the car doesnt give u any advise or he wont tell wht the mistakes u r making he just sit and relax
u have to do all by ur self wht u know about ur driving. And if by mistake u asked him something u will get a rude answer.. we got 2 rounds for driving each round of only 3- 4 min for each person.
Respected all, yesterday my 15 days class hasbeen started . So I want to share the experience of all 15 days so it could help many of our brothers.
Day 1
I went to Dallah asking the room where 15 days class was going to start . after waiting in very hot day the instructer came with 45 min delay.
then ask every body to sit in one room . There he asked the class slip from every one . He put the Stump and returned the slip accross with signal paper.
The signal paper was in diffierent languages . It was our wish to which langauge we want. there were. hindi, malayalam, urdu , english arabic, and many more.
after that he took us to driving stage . There he shows the sitting banch . He Says ” from tomorrow every body come and sit on that sitting banch not going to room .
then we came back to class room
there another instructer gave the class of signals
30 min class .
and then he said ok now u can go
.. today it will be my second day I will share my second by tomoro..
@annus,
you don’t have to know it. It’s very simple and easy. You will get a sheet of signals in 10 SR from dallah. all the questions are from the signs.
Bro can u tell me about some questions which they usually ask in the list of 20 questions?
thankQ so much brother.
@zakir,
brother if you already paid the money. Then I think there is no way to get it back. You have to attend the classes. Please recheck it with someone at dallah.
@admin ,
can i get my fees by back which i paid for madrasa 435 sr
@zakir, Brother I don’t have any idea about it. But some people they give the test again by making the documents new and throwing old documents. I mean they again face the test as fresh. I don’t know is it legal or not.
@habeeb,
brother there is nothing call online test. There is a computer test. Which you have to give in a computer. There is so many language. You can choose your own language. Including English, Arabic, Bangla, Hindi, Indonesii…etc much more. You can give the exam in your choice of language.
myyyyyyyyyy God , MY boss is going to kill meee brother oh,,,
can u give me any kind of idea .. how can i go from this situation??
Can u tell me is the online test taken is in english or arabic language?
@zakir, No it’s from Saturday to Wednesday. Thursday and Friday is off. So 15 days means each week you will get 5 days so it means 3 week.
@admin ,
Brother 1 que I want to ask u
they gave me 15 days class. in these 15 days they will count thursday and friday or not ,?
@zakir, Best of luck brother. I also spent almost 1 month for all the step. But finally Alhamdulillah I got it. You will forget all the sorrow
when you will got it inshaallah.
I just shared what I faced in dallah. Cause I saw lots of people are not getting proper information like me. And they faced problems and has
misconception of exam and dallah procedure. So that’s why I posted it. But Alhamdulillah I can see that lots of brother is getting benefited from
this post. I request all of you to share your experience of dallah. So every new candidate will be keep notified by latest information of dallah and
driving tips.
@admin , hmm you are rite. But Bro 15 days are too much for me it will harm my job , 3pm to 6pm
