What is Ruksa ?

When the policeman at the check point asks you, “Fain Ruksa ?”, he means to say where is your driving license?

Though the ruksa is a general term for permit, the Saudi Driving License (DL) is commonly referred as Ruksa.

As can be seen the image below, the Driving license shows the Name of the Driving License holder, his license number which is same as iqama number, expiry date of DL, type of driving license (Private, Public or Heavy vehicle) and blood group of driver.
