What Is an International Driving Permit?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an official UN-regulated document that translates your Indian driving licence into 12 languages — including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, German, Russian, and more. Every time you rent a car or pass through a traffic checkpoint abroad, the IDP gives local authorities instant proof that you hold a valid licence back home.

The IDP is not a replacement for your Indian driving licence — you must carry both documents together. IDPA issues permits backed by the United Nations conventions on road traffic, making them accepted at rental desks, police checkpoints, and border crossings worldwide.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — IDP for Indian Drivers

Is the IDPA IDP valid alongside my Indian driving licence?

Yes. The IDPA International Driving Permit works as a certified translation of your Indian driving licence. You must carry both documents together when driving abroad. IDPA’s permit is recognised under the 1949 Geneva Convention, which India has ratified.

Can I apply international driving license online if I am travelling next week?

Absolutely. IDPA’s digital IDP arrives in your inbox within 5 minutes of approval — making it ideal for last-minute travel. The printed booklet requires additional shipping time, so for urgent trips the digital package is the fastest option

Do I need a visa or air ticket to apply through IDPA?

No. Unlike the government Parivahan process, IDPA does not require you to upload a visa, air ticket, or Form 4A. All you need is a clear photo of your valid Indian driving licence and a passport-size photograph.

How long is my IDPA IDP valid?

IDPA offers validity options of 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, or 5 years. You select your preferred validity period during the application. Longer validity is ideal for frequent travellers, expats, and students studying abroad.

What if my IDPA IDP is not accepted?

IDPA offers a 100% money-back guarantee. If your IDP is rejected at any car rental agency or checkpoint, contact IDPA’s 24/7 support team and you will receive a full refund, no questions asked.

Can I use the IDPA IDP to drive in the UAE?

Yes, but the UAE requires the printed IDP booklet — a digital-only IDP is not accepted there. Choose the Print + Digital package if you are planning to drive in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Oman.
