The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has now enabledIndian citizens to renew their expired International Driving Permit (IDP) even when abroad.
Citizens can apply for renewal through Indian embassies
IDP will be couriered to their address by the respective RTOs
Going forward, IDP applications can be made without having a visa
In a notification on January 7, the ministry said it will facilitate the issuance of International Driving Permit (IDP) for Indian citizens whose IDP has expired while they are abroad.
Prior to the notification, there was no mechanism for its renewal while citizens were abroad and their IDP had expired. With the amendment, Indian citizens will now be able to apply for renewal through the Indian Embassies / Missions abroad, from where these applications would come to the VAHAN portal in India, which will be considered by the respective RTOs. Once the applications get a clearance, the IDP would be couriered to the citizen at his/her address abroad by the respective RTOs.
