HOW TO APPLY FOR INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT (IDP) IN INDIA
If any Indian citizen who visits foreign countries wants to drive a motor vehicle there, your Indian Driving Licence is valid, provided it must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP). Someone tries to mislead the common people by saying that it is an International Driving License. But IDP is only a permit issued by the RTOs in the respective states and has a maximum validity of one year from the date of issue, or up to the expiry date of your driving license, whichever is earlier. There is a huge list of countries that recognize IDP as a legal source to drive/ride on foreign land. IDP helps you rent a car or bike without much of a fuss when you are traveling abroad.

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. The most important thing everyone should bear in mind is that the international driving permit cannot be renewed in any case.
You will have to get a new permit if your current permit has expired.
