Expired license cannot be converted to Saudi driving license, you need to take admission in driving school, based on your driving evaluation they will decide how many classes you need to attend.

Conversion Process in Saudi Arabia (if the UAE license is valid):

Required Documents:

Original valid UAE driving license.

Arabic translation of the license.

Copy of your Iqama (Saudi residency permit).

Copy of your passport.

Four passport-sized photos.

A letter from your sponsor (if you are not a Saudi national).

Payment of required fees.

Procedures:

You will likely need to undergo a medical test and visit a driving school.

The driving school will guide you through the process, which may involve submitting the documents, paying fees, and potentially taking a practical test.

The driving school may retain the original UAE license during the conversion process.

Absher Account:

You may need an Absher account to book an appointment and manage the conversion process.

In summary, an expired UAE license must be renewed in the UAE before it can be considered for conversion to a Saudi license.
