Amman – The Legislation and Opinion Bureau on Wednesday published a draft amendment to the Driver Licensing System for 2025, ahead of approval by the Cabinet.

Article 9 of the draft states that “it is not permitted to drive public transport vehicles, cargo trucks, vehicles transporting hazardous or explosive materials, buses, private medium buses, or student transport vehicles without obtaining an annual driving permit issued by the Licensing Department.”

The Cabinet explained that requiring public transport and student transport drivers to obtain an annual permit aims to ensure traffic safety, facilitate services for citizens, and protect public safety for users of these transport services.

The draft system also seeks to unify driving license durations for categories four, five, and six, previously valid for five years, with categories one, two, and three, making all licenses valid for ten years.
