Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has clarified that expatriates are permitted to own a maximum of three vehicles for personal use, as part of ongoing efforts to regulate vehicle ownership and improve traffic management.
Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Bouhassan, Assistant Director of the Traffic Awareness Department, confirmed that the limit applies to all types of personal vehicles, including cars, pickup trucks, and motorcycles.
Bouhassan explained that expatriates may continue to renew the registration of vehicles they already own, provided the total number does not exceed the three-vehicle cap. However, registering additional vehicles beyond this limit will not be permitted under the current regulations.
The clarification is part of broader measures aimed at streamlining traffic systems, ensuring compliance with transport laws, and enhancing overall road safety across the country.
