The temporary driving license in Saudi Arabia is issued to 17-year-olds who want to drive a car. It is identical to the regular license and does not have any differences. Applicants for a temporary driving license must be 17 or older. Women under the age of 17 have been issued temporary licenses by the National Traffic Commission (NTC).
