Planning to travel abroad and drive hassle-free?Obtain your International Driving Permit (IDP) through the Indian RTO with ease.
At RTO Agent Services, we make the process simple and quick—eliminating the struggle of lengthy paperwork, confusing procedures, and endless waiting lines. With our support, you can get your IDP without stress or delays, ensuring you’re ready to drive legally in any foreign country.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a government-approved document that lets Indian citizens drive legally in countries under the 1949 Geneva Convention. It works as a translated copy of your Indian Driving License and is accepted in 150+ countries.
Note: The IDP is not valid alone—you must carry your original Indian Driving License with it.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is essential in the following cases:
When you are traveling overseas for education, employment, tourism, or business purposes.
If you wish to rent or drive a vehicle legally in another country.
When the country you are visiting is a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention and accepts IDPs.
If you already hold a valid Indian Driving License, the IDP serves as its internationally recognized translation.
At RTO Agent Services, we help simplify the application process, ensuring you get your International Driving Permit without unnecessary delays.
