Common questions
01
Do I need an International Driving Permit to drive out of India?
You should carry an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence in most countries you drive into from India. The IDP is a certified translation of your licence, carried together with the original — not a government-issued permit and never a replacement for your licence. Whether it is required depends on the destination country, so open the route for the neighbour you are crossing into.
