Driver CV Format (for Gulf & Foreign Jobs)
For a driving job in the Gulf or abroad, employers and agencies want three things fast: your licence category, the vehicles you can drive, and how many years you've driven safely.

Start building →Put your licence details up front
State your licence category clearly — light vehicle, heavy vehicle, bus, or trailer. If you hold or have held a GCC, UAE, or international licence, mention it, because it can let you start sooner.
Show your driving experience and vehicles
List the years you've driven and the types of vehicle — car, van, pickup, truck, tanker, bus. Add the kind of driving (city, highway, long-distance, delivery) and that you have a clean record with no major accidents.
Include the personal and passport details employers expect
Foreign-employment driver CVs usually need date of birth, nationality, passport number, and a clear passport-style photo. Use the Nepali (with photo) template, which has these fields built in.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a GCC or Gulf licence before applying?
- Not always — many drivers convert their licence after arriving. But if you already hold one, state it, since it makes your application stronger.
- Should a driver CV have a photo?
- Yes. A plain, recent passport-style photo is standard for Gulf and foreign-employment driver CVs.
