What is required to drive car out of KSA?

If you have a rental car, or a company car or your own car (still on installment plan i.e. meaning you have not yet completed paying off the car payments), and you’re planning to drive out of KSA, then these steps are necessary to avoid any problem. A snapshot of the required documents on how they look like is also given here. These documents will vary from company to company and city to city. So just for you, an exclusive blog that brings all the info at one place.

1) A copy of the car registration card (called Istimara – إستمارة)


2) Copy of Insurance card (called Tamien – التأمين)
If it a new car, this card should be provided to you from the car dealer (showroom). If this a rental car, you will need to pay additional to buy insurance and they will provide you a piece of paper. If this car given to you by your company/contracting company, they will provide you with insurance papers.

* Remember that it is necessary to carry insurance paper with you all the time when you're driving or else you are subjected to traffic fines.


3) A “Letter of Delegated Rights” from the car showroom/company/contracting company will be needed– called Tafweez Qiyadat Sayyara Khariji (تفويض قيادتة سيارة خارجي) and this letter needs to be stamped by Chamber of Commerce (25 SAR)



4) Original copy of the document “Delegation of driving a vehicle (inside and outside the Kingdom)“ from the Traffic department (إدارة المرور - Idaratul Muroor) – called Tafweez Qiyadat Markabat (Daakhil wa Kharij Al-Mamlikat) - (تفويض قيادة مرك (داخل وخارج المملكة




      a) The officer at Muroor will take the original letter that you got from car showroom.
      b) He will give you back the Insurance and the registration card back to you.

Have a happy travelling with your car outside of Kingdom.
