Lawyers for Mahmoudi, who was arrested in September, and rights groups have argued he will be executed if he returns to Libya, where a February 2011 uprising ended more than four decades of Kadhafi's dictatorship.
Libyan authorities have guaranteed that the former premier will get a fair trial, meeting Tunisia's final condition for his extradition, the Tunisian president's office said last month.
The presidency then said a committee of independent Tunisian political figures would be formed to oversee the extradition process and monitor promises to protect Mahmoudi's rights after his transfer to Libya.
The ex-premier is the subject of two extradition requests from Tripoli.
Tunisia's January 2011 revolution ousting strongman Zine el Abidine Ben Ali triggered the pro-democracy Arab Spring.
