KUWAIT CITY, Feb 2: The Ministry of Interior has cautioned motorists against violating traffic laws and committing serious violations, warning of severe consequences, including administrative deportation, particularly if motorists are caught driving without a valid license.

The source underscored the importance of expatriates verifying the validity of their driving licenses using the "Kuwait Mobile ID" or "Sahel" applications. Additionally, the source added some expatriates might be unaware of the withdrawal of their driving licenses without their knowledge for various reasons, and holding just a license does not exempt them from penalties, including potential deportation.

The source revealed 145 expatriates were deported for driving without a valid license. It was emphasized that the Ministry of Interior, through the General Traffic Department, regularly runs a check on driving licenses. If the specified conditions are not met, or if there are changes in the profession, especially for licenses issued after 2013, the license status will be marked as withdrawn in the "Kuwait Mobile ID" application.
