International Driving Permit (IDP) Fee in Punjab 2026
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that can be used in countries that recognize it under their local rules. Whether you need an IDP depends on the country you are visiting and its requirements for drivers with a Pakistani driving license.
In Punjab, International Driving License services are provided through the official DLIMS system, which is now integrated with Punjab's Dastak one-window platform. The official system handles DLIMS services including application processing, verification, payment, and license tracking.
Before applying, check the driving requirements of your destination country. An IDP does not replace your original Pakistani driving license, so you should carry your valid local driving license when required.
Documents Required:
According to Punjab Traffic Police, applicants should have:
- Original CNIC
- Original passport, valid for at least 6 months, with the visa of the country to be visited
- Regular Pakistani driving license with at least 1 year of validity remaining
Requirements can change depending on the service and current government procedure, so check the official DLIMS/Dastak system before submitting your application.
