International Driving License – Drive Abroad with Confidence

If you're heading to the UAE, UK, Canada, or anywhere abroad, you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

An international driving license, commonly referred to as an International Driving Permit (IDP), allows Pakistani citizens to drive legally in selected foreign countries for a limited duration. In Punjab, international driving licenses are issued through DLIMS to applicants who already hold a valid Pakistani driving license.
The validity period of an international driving license may vary depending on the selected category and destination country. Fees for international licenses are generally higher due to additional verification, documentation, and courier services involved.

Applicants should always verify whether their destination country accepts Pakistan-issued international driving permits before applying.

Documents Required:

CNIC
Valid local driving license
Passport + visa copy
Passport-size photos
