Driving Licence - UAE
 

Hi all

My wife and I are about to transfer our driving licences to a UAE one. My query is she has both a UK passport and an Australian passport. Her residence visa is in her UK passport, but she only has an aussie licence as she never drove in the UK. Is it going to be possible to still get the UAE licence?....I am hoping by taking both passports to show she is an aussie citizen to match her aussie licence should suffice but any opinions would be welcome.

Thanks as always

should be ok, take both passports, photocopy the one with the visa in :)

officially the passport with the visa and the country that issued the driving license should be one and the same, but since both countries are on the list of countries that can exchange without taking lessons/driving test, it should be fine, but you won't know for sure until you actually go there.

If you sponsor your wife, you should write her a NOC letter by the way (but you probably already knew that).

Did this just the other day (mismatch of passport and licence but both on the list) and there was nary an eyebrow raised nor a question asked.
