TheIDL application procedure is simple and straightforward. All you need to have are your official identification from an Emirates ID authority distributer, a copy of your valid UAE driving license and two Passport-size photos photos. The international Driving License can be obtained through several different portals:
The International Driving License enables travelers and tourists to drive in other countries in a legal and safe way, with an ultimate peace of mind without being questioned by authorities or incurring fines.
Online applications will be completed within 3 working days of receipt, so allow for 5 workings days for all online applications to be delivered to your requested address. Over the counter applications can be completed within half an hour.
The world's leading traffic simulation software PTV Vissim digitally reproduces the traffic patterns of all road users on a microscopic scale. With the help of scientifically based simulations and scenario management, you can evaluate and optimize the performance of transport infrastructure, make data-based planning decisions, and proactively tackle challenges such as congestion, emissions, and the fair distribution of road space for different modes.
Check the traffic performance of transport infrastructure and measures even before they are implemented. This helps you to identify the best design and avoid costly mistakes. PTV Vissim can realistically represent any form of road, bicycle, or public transport infrastructure (including rail) as well as footpaths in 3D. Parking lots, airports, train stations, large buildings or temporary measures can also be simulated and evaluated.
With PTV Vissim, you can investigate and realistically simulate the driving behavior of connected and autonomous vehicles and their effects on traffic flow. Intelligent traffic management measures, such as public transport prioritization, variable speed limits or ramp metering, can also be evaluated in the virtual test environment. PTV Vissim is further used in the planning and optimization of traffic signals.
Traffic simulation can be used to create reactive test environments for virtual vehicle development. PTV Vissim has interfaces to many vehicle simulation programs (e.g. IPG CarMaker, Virtual Test Drive, dSpace ASM, Simcenter PreScan, etc.) so that you can add realistic and reactive surrounding traffic to your virtual test drives. The intelligent, behavior model-based actions and reactions of the surrounding traffic create a continuous interaction with the system under test.
PTV Vissim and PTV Viswalk depict pedestrians and their individual interaction with each other. City and traffic planners, fire safety officers, station, airport, and event managers - all of them rely on microsimulation to ensure safety and comfort for pedestrians, simulating evacuation scenarios, and checking e.g. passage widths, installation areas, travel times, and waiting times.
Check how traffic engineering measures such as adapted traffic light control, intelligent traffic systems or different vehicle fleet compositions affect the traffic related emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases and thus determine efficient options for optimizing traffic impact on air quality and the climate.
PTV Vissim maps the entire traffic infrastructure, the control logic through to the most advanced traffic light control procedures and Car2X communication, and models the interaction of all road users on the basis of intelligent behavior models. You can integrate the simulation as a "traffic layer" in your digital City Twin and enrich it with additional data, for example buildings, vegetation, bodies of water or planning data such as upcoming construction measures. Define individual "what if" scenarios and use the combination of powerful KPI-based evaluation of traffic flow with realistic 3D visualization for stakeholder dialogues, for example.
From a conventional traffic circle to a throughabout with traffic lights: the English National Highways used PTV Vissim to evaluate the performance of different design alternatives and select the most suitable junction design.
EOS bundles a smart and dynamic coordinator that can adjust signal timing "on the fly", powerful in-built safety features that are easy to use, best-in-class support for Signal Control Priority (SCP), and advanced data streaming capabilities. These features can now be precisely mapped and verified in PTV Vissim's world-leading microsimulations, allowing you to evaluate and optimize the performance of the transportation infrastructure more accurately than ever before.
If you still have the residence permit in UAE and still residing there, I suggest to get another copy.
1. Having a Gulf-issued driver's license with a valid residence ID would entitle you to ANOTHER Bahrain-issued license. You'll get to keep the other license.
2. If you no longer have a valid residence ID from any Gulf country but still have a valid driver's license from there, Bahrain will issue you a driver's license BUT will confiscate and cancel the old one. No schooling or training required. This was my case. Got my new Bahraini driver's license within 5 minutes. And they took my Saudi license. Fee is BD26.5
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the replay Friend....!!
I don't have a resident permit in UAE, I just have the scan copy of my UAE driving license...
That's the problem..if I go uae for two days...as visit...can I get a duplicate...? Do you know something about that..?
It doesn't work the other way round. If you read the old threads, you will understand.
They will send your UAE license to RTA and in your login there, it will show as "impounded". You are going to have to go and get it back once you relocate to UAE. If it expires, forget about it. Bahrain license is not converted to UAE license automatically for expats. You still have to do a test.
@Francis Miranda It is better to check with the traffic office whether it is sent to UAE or not. if it is not sent, You can surrender your Bahrain License and they will give the UAE License back.
@Francis Miranda As I said Please check with traffic office in Bahrain whether they have it or it is sent to UAE. If they inform you that it is sent to UAE then you will have to check it with UAE traffic office.
As it is expired, You will not be able to convert it straight away. Most probably they will waive the classes and ask you to appear for the test directly. Book an appointment at Mawaeid at the driving school and apply there.
While entering the gentlemen sitting near the entrance told me to show the booking no and reason for your booking. I told him i want to enquire about applying for driving license using the expired license. He straight away told me it is not possible you need to start from beginning literally from beginning. I ask again there is not the slightest chance for me to atleast attend a driving test like how we use our international license for applying. He was adamant and said not possible if you have expired license for a day also they wont allow .

Hi All,
I visited the Driving School today for enquiring about the waiver of classes with my expired UAE license.

He canceled my booking and told me to go main branch. I tried my luck there also asking but was in vein of getting a good response.
But ya i suggest anyone to try once before you apply from start.
I have not applied yet waiting for some kind of connection who can pass this hassle.
-@hotspiz85I think you went to muharraq branch. Only go to main branch for conversion.
As I told earlier my uae license is expired then how can I do the conversion and second I first went Al Ali branch where the driving school is. From there I went to main branch there is only 2 options for booking 1 is driving license exchange and 2nd is issue learners license .

They told me to take learners license token which is not required here if I am enquiring about doing a test using expired license.
The reception at main branch will verify your visit and then only you can move forward which is the issue here.

The best way to get official response is log in to tawasul app. Raise an enquiry with general directorate of traffic. Explain your circumstance. They will call you back. If they say you need to take the test with the classes. End of the story and apply for new license.
@topinsight01
I understood each and every bit of words u inputted.
Now my point is the waive of classes and attending the test directly is there a possibility yes or no. The whole questioning was about making it happen and the probability.
It is a simple logic that if not then u need start fresh.
-@hotspiz85Again to my last post. As you have been informed by the official that it is not possible.
