Hail General Dept. of Traffic Motorcycle Theory Test

The step‑by‑step journey

1. 1

   Book via Absher and prepare documents

   Create or log in to your Absher Individual account (absher.sa or the Absher mobile app). Navigate to 'Traffic Services' to locate driving-licence services and, where available, book a Moroor appointment or a slot at an approved driving school. Saudi nationals and Iqama holders may use the platform; verify current eligibility rules with Moroor. Gather all required documents before attending any appointment. Confirm the current requirements with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) via Absher.

2. 2

   Medical and eye examination

   Attend a Moroor-approved medical centre (often an Efada-linked or Ministry of Health-approved clinic) to obtain a medical fitness certificate. The examination typically includes a vision (eye) acuity test, colour-vision screening, blood-group determination, and a general health check. The certificate is usually issued on the day if you pass. Some driving schools can direct you to approved clinics near their premises. Confirm which clinics are currently recognised, as the approved-provider list is periodically updated by Moroor.

3. 3

   Open a file at a Moroor-approved driving school

   Visit a Moroor-approved driving school -- prominent examples include Dallah Driving School (multiple branches in Riyadh), and schools operated by or linked to Elm in various cities. Submit your documents, pay the school registration fee, and have your file opened in the Moroor system. The school will assign you to theory and practical training tracks. Confirm current school availability in your city (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam/Eastern Province, Madinah, etc.) via the Moroor or Absher portals.

4. 4

   Theory (knowledge) test

   The theory test is a computer-based multiple-choice examination administered at the driving school or a Moroor-approved digital test centre. Questions cover Saudi traffic laws, road signs, safe-driving principles, and driving etiquette. The number of questions and the passing mark are set by Moroor and vary by school and region; as a general guide, candidates report tests of roughly 20 to 32 questions with a high passing threshold (commonly cited around 85 percent), but confirm the current question count and pass mark with your driving school or Moroor. The test is offered in many languages -- Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, and Tagalog are commonly reported -- so verify current language options with the test centre. If you fail, a waiting period applies before a re-sit; confirm retake rules with Moroor.

5. 5

   Mandatory practical training hours

   After (or alongside) the theory test, many schools give an initial internal assessment or trial drive, then assign in-car training hours with a licensed instructor based on your demonstrated ability. The required hours vary by prior experience and by school. At Dallah in Riyadh, for example, applicants are commonly categorised into tiers such as roughly 6 hours (passes the trial test), around 12 hours (intermediate ability), or around 30 hours (beginner) -- other schools use different thresholds. Holders of a valid foreign licence from a recognised country may qualify for a reduced programme, and GCC-licence conversions may follow a different pathway. Your driving school will confirm the exact hours assigned to your profile. Confirm the current mandatory minimums with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) via Absher, as these figures are subject to revision.

6. 6

   Practical road test

   Once your training hours are logged and approved, the driving school schedules your practical road test with a Moroor examiner. The test typically includes a manoeuvring yard section (e.g. parking, three-point turn, hill start) and an on-road driving section assessed against Saudi traffic regulations. Common reasons for failure include: failure to check mirrors adequately, improper lane discipline, not yielding correctly at junctions, excessive hesitation, or committing a traffic violation during the test. The number of permitted attempts and the waiting period between attempts are determined by Moroor -- confirm these with your driving school and Moroor before the test.

7. 7

   Licence issuance and printing

   Upon passing the road test, the Moroor system records the result and the licence can be printed. In many cases the card is printed at the Moroor office or via an approved printing point the same day or within a short period. The licence is typically a smart-card format. Moroor commonly offers multiple validity periods (for example 5-year or 10-year options) at different government fees; the exact durations and charges are set by Moroor and may change. Confirm the collection process, any outstanding fees, and validity period with the issuing office. You can also check licence status via Absher.
