An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that translates your national driving license into multiple languages, allowing you to drive legally in foreign countries where your native license is not recognized. It's often required for car rentals and to comply with international traffic laws, ensuring legal driving abroad.
Any UAE resident or tourist with a valid national driving license issued by their home country (or the UAE) and who meets the age requirements for driving in the destination country is eligible to apply at our International Driving Permit Centre Dubai.
Generally, you will need your original valid national driving license, passport-sized photos, a copy of your passport (and visa for non-residents), and your Emirates ID (for residents). Specific requirements might vary, so it's best to confirm with our International Driving Permit Centre Dubai for precise details.
Our IDP application process in Dubai is designed for efficiency. In most cases, if all documents are in order, you can obtain your International Driving Permit on the same day, making it a quick and convenient service.
An IDP is typically valid for one year from the date of issue. It is important to note that an IDP is only valid when presented alongside your original, valid national driving license, and cannot be used as a standalone document.
IDPs cannot be renewed; a new application must be submitted. If your existing IDP is nearing expiration, you will need to apply for a fresh one with updated documentation at our Dubai centre.
The International Driving Permit issued by our Dubai centre is recognized in over 150 countries that are signatories to the 1949 or 1968 United Nations Conventions on Road Traffic. Always check the specific requirements of your destination country before travel.
The fee for an International Driving Permit in Dubai can vary. Please contact the International Driving Permit Centre Dubai directly or visit our location in Deira for the most current pricing details and any applicable charges.
Even if your national driving license is in English, an IDP is highly recommended, and often legally required, in many countries. It serves as an official translation and helps avoid misunderstandings with local authorities abroad, providing peace of mind.
Our International Driving Permit Centre Dubai typically operates Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00, and Saturday from 09:00 to 15:00. We are closed on Sundays. Please verify current timings before your visit to our Deira, Dubai location.
