How to get international driver license ?


International Driving Licence (IDL)/International Driving Permit (IDP)


Driving yourself around, whether you’re burning up the rubber or cruising along is a feeling many car enthusiasts long for. While the roads in your home country are open to you whenever the need to drive so takes hold of you, those travelling to another country on business or holiday are often unable to rent a car or drive since they do not have a license that is accepted in that country.
Those seeking to drive abroad can apply for an International Driver’s Permit. The International Driver’s Permit is an official travel document that is authorized by the United Nations issued to tourists travelling to foreign countries. It is an official translation of your driver’s license issued in your home country. The document essentially states that you possess a valid driver’s license and it translates your license documents into a number of languages so authorities abroad are able to verify and understand your driving credentials.
The document is printed in a number of different languages- English, French, Spanish, Chinese and Russian as well as German, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese and the Scandinavian languages.
This enables authorities in those countries to understand your driver’s license. This is especially important in case of any mishap, since it will prove your driving credentials.
An IDP is generally valid
 for a period of one year from its issue or till the driving license expires, whichever is earlier.

How to Apply for an International Driving Licence
