Drivers license in Bahrain

I am certain you could get a Bahrain driving license over the counter. There was another discussion on the same topic. Let me try to look that up for you.

Confirmed that you can get a Bahrain driving license over the counter without the need to go through the full testing process. The USA is on a list of countries whose licenses can be converted to Bahrain license over the counter.

It is in Arabic though

Thanx Farahz, a really great reply as always , your a ggod and kind person my friend, keep them helps coming

best wishes to you

I am getting mine switched from US to Bahrain this week.  The time frame they gave was about 90 minutes to get it all sorted.  I think the cost is 26 BD.

I agree with the comments above. I got mine in 20 minutes flat. I suggest you go to the traffic directorate in the evening around 5 pm. That way, you will not have to wait long. When I went, there were no people waiting. Take passport size photographs with you. Fill up a form, get your vision tested and hand over your CPR. Pay 26 BHD and voila,you have a brand new Bahraini driving license.

They will inspect the US license and return it to you. Also, I think they close at 6 pm. Just FYI.
