Once you can tick these boxes, there are different ways to go about obtaining your driving licence. These vary depending on the following:
1. You have an international licence
The first thing you need to know is that if you're a resident you can't hit the roads with an international licence – you must have an Abu Dhabi version. However, this is a simple process as your international licence can be easily transferred once you're ready.To get your Abu Dhabi licence, you must visit the Abu Dhabi Drivers' Licence Department (near Mushrif Mall) with all of the following documents:
• A passport photo.
• Original and one copy of your passport.
• Emirates ID.
• Original and one copy of your foreign driving licence.
• One copy of your valid Abu Dhabi residency visa.
• A letter of no objection from your current employer or your visa sponsor.
• An Arabic translation of your existing licence (which can be obtained at any translation outlet).
When you visit the licencing centre, you will be sent to take an eye test in a nearby building. If that's successful you'll pay Dhs100 before being sent to collect your Abu Dhabi licence. The whole process (including eye test and translation fees) will cost around Dhs800.

2. You have a licence from home

• Finland
• France

If the licence is in this list then it will need to be translated into Arabic, and you will need the same paperwork as for the international licences (above) to take to the Abu Dhabi Drivers License Department.

Lesson eight: Safety.
