Pakistan Me International Driving Permit (IDP) Ka Tareeqa (2026): Videsh Me Driving

International Driving Permit Kya Hai Aur Kis Kaam Aata Hai

International Driving Permit (IDP) aik official document hai jo aap ke Pakistani driving license ka tarjuma hota hai aur jo aap ko 150 se zyada mumalik me gaari chalane ki ijazat deta hai. Agar aap videsh safar par ja rahe hain — chahay rozgar ke liye, parhai ke liye, umrah ya hajj par, ya kisi tour par — to bohat se mulkon me gaari kiraye par lene ya khud gaari chalane ke liye aap ka sirf Pakistani license kafi nahi hota. Wahan traffic police ko aap ki driving qualification samajhne ke liye IDP darkar hota hai jo multiple zubano me aap ke license ki maloomat pesh karta hai.

Pakistan 1968 ke Vienna Convention on Road Traffic ka rukan hai, is liye Pakistani authority se jari IDP ko duniya ke beshtar mumalik tasleem karte hain. Ye permit alag se koi naya license nahi hai — ye aap ke maujooda valid Pakistani driving license ke sath chal sakta hai. Is ka matlab ye hai ke videsh me gaari chalate waqt aap ko apna Pakistani license, apna IDP, aur apna passport teeno apne sath rakhne chahiye. Pakistan me IDP provincial traffic police (jaise Punjab Traffic Police), khidmat markaz, aur National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) ki Drivers Licensing Authority se jari hota hai. Har authority ki apni fee aur apna tareeqa hai, lekin bunyadi shartein har jagah aik jaisi hain: valid license, valid CNIC, valid passport aur safar ka saboot.

Agar aap ne abhi tak Pakistan me apna driving license nahi banwaya to pehle driving license banane ka tareeqa parh lijiye, kyun ke baghair valid Pakistani license ke IDP kabhi jari nahi hoga.

Kaun Apply Kar Sakta Hai: Eligibility Conditions

IDP har koi nahi le sakta. Apply karne se pehle ye shartein poori hona lazmi hai:

Valid Pakistani driving license: Aap ke paas Punjab, Sindh, KP, Balochistan, ya kisi bhi federal ya provincial authority ka valid, computerized permanent driving license hona chahiye. Learner permit wale IDP nahi le sakte. Punjab Traffic Police ki official shart ke mutabiq aap ka regular driving license apply karne ke waqt kam az kam 1 saal ki mazeed validity rakhta ho — is se kam validity wale license par IDP nahi milega.

Umar 18 saal ya zyada: IDP ke liye umar ki had 18 saal hai. Ye wahi had hai jo permanent driving license ke liye bhi hai.

Valid passport: Aap ka passport apply ke waqt valid hona chahiye. Punjab Traffic Police ki official website ke mutabiq passport ki validity kam az kam 6 mahine honi chahiye aur jis mulk ja rahe hain us ka visa passport par laga hona chahiye.

Visa ya safar ka saboot: Aksar offices visa ki copy mangte hain, kyun ke IDP travel ke maqsad ke liye jari hota hai. Agar visa abhi nahi laga to kam az kam confirmed flight ticket ya employment/student ka saboot taiyar rakhna behtar hai.

License usi jurisdiction se ho: Aam taur par IDP wahin se milta hai jahan se aap ka license jari hua tha. Misal ke taur par agar aap ka license Lahore se jari hua hai to aap Punjab ke system se apply karein, aur agar Karachi se hai to Sindh ke system se. IDP aap ke national license se alag nahi ho sakta.

Agar aap ka passport abhi nahi bana to pehle Pakistan passport banane ka tareeqa guide dekh lijiye, kyun ke baghair passport ke IDP ki application age nahi barhegi.

Zaroori Kagzaat: License, Passport, Visa Aur Photos

Punjab Traffic Police ki official website (trafficpolice.punjab.gov.pk) ke mutabiq International Driving License ke liye ye kagzaat darkar hain:

1. Original CNIC — attested photocopy bhi sath rakhein. CNIC ka valid hona lazmi hai; agar CNIC ki tajdid ki zaroorat hai to NADRA CNIC banane ka tareeqa me poora process mojood hai.
2. Original Passport — jo kam az kam 6 mahine valid ho aur jis me destination mulk ka visa laga ho.
3. Regular Driving License — computerized, valid, aur kam az kam 1 saal ki baqi validity ke sath. Learner permit qabil-e-qabool nahi.
4. Passport size tasveerain — 2 adad taaza tasveerain (neela background, haliya 6 mahine me li hui).

Is ke ilawa kuch centers ye mazeed cheezain mang sakte hain, is liye inhen bhi file me rakh lijiye:

• Application form (counter se free milta hai ya DLIMS portal se print ho jata hai)
• Visa ya flight ticket ki copy (safar ke saboot ke taur par)
• Court fee aur revenue tickets (kuch offices me Rs. 22 aur Rs. 60 ke tickets required hote hain)
• STR (Schedule of Test Report) ya bank challan ki raseed — fee ki adaygi ka saboot

Kagzaat ki tayari ka sab se ahem nuskha ye hai ke originals aur photocopies dono le kar jayein. Counter par originals verification ke liye dekhe jate hain aur attested copies file me lagti hain.

2026 Ki Official Fee: Table

Pakistan me IDP ki fee ek hi nahi — har issuing authority ka apna fee schedule hai. 2026 ki tasdeeq shuda maloomat ye hai:

Authority	Category	Fee	Courier	Total
Punjab (DLIMS 2.0)	Car/Jeep	Rs. 1,350	Rs. 480	Rs. 1,830
Punjab (DLIMS 2.0)	Motorcycle	Rs. 450	Rs. 480	Rs. 930
Punjab (DLIMS 2.0)	LTV	Rs. 1,850	Rs. 480	Rs. 2,330
Peshawar Traffic Police	International License Card	Rs. 1,000	—	Rs. 1,000
NHMP (DLA)	International Driver Permit	Counter par check karein	—	Counter par check karein

Note: Punjab ki fees DLIMS 2.0 ki official fee page par di gayi category-wise schedule ke mutabiq hain, jahan courier charges Rs. 480 alag se add hote hain. Peshawar Traffic Police (ptpkp.gov.pk) ka official schedule aik saal ke International Driving License card ke liye Rs. 1,000 show karta hai. NHMP ki purani Drivers Licensing Authority Rules 2014 ki schedule me International Driver Permit Rs. 800 thi, lekin ye purani hai — NHMP ki mojooda fee dla.nhmp.gov.pk ke fee schedule se confirm karein. Aakhri raqam application ke waqt official counter ya website confirm karti hai, kyun ke fee schedules waqtan fo waqtan revise hote hain.

Step-by-Step Tareeqa: Traffic Police Office Se IDP Lena

Office se IDP lene ka poora process ye hai:

Step 1 — Kagzaat taiyar karein. Upar list kiye gaye tamam kagzaat (CNIC, passport, visa, license, tasveerain) originals aur attested copies ke sath ek file cover me rakh lijiye.

Step 2 — Mutaliqa office jayein. Punjab me apne qareebi Police Khidmat Markaz (PKM) ya DLIMS licensing center jayein. Lahore ka driving license office 97-A Ferozepur Road par hai aur Rawalpindi ka Race Course, Peshawar Road par. Karachi wale Clifton ya Nazimabad ke licensing branches jayein. Peshawar wale Room No. 11, 2nd Floor, Tasneem Plaza, near Benevolent Fund Building ja sakte hain. Subah jaldi (8 se 1 baje tak) jana behtar hai taake qataar kam ho.

Step 3 — Application form bharein. Counter se IDP ka application form lijiye ya pehle se DLIMS portal se download kar ke bhar lijiye. Form me CNIC number, license number, passport details aur destination mulk ki maloomat darj karein.

Step 4 — Fee jama karwayein. Counter se bank challan ya PSID banwayein aur designated bank, ATM, ya mobile banking se fee ada karein. Punjab me ePay Punjab ke zariye PSID pay karna mashhoor aur transparent tareeqa hai. Challan ki raseed sambhal kar rakhein.

Step 5 — Verification karwayein. Apne originals counter par pesh karein. Staff aap ke CNIC, passport, visa aur license ki verification karega — kuch offices me biometric bhi hota hai.

Step 6 — Receipt lijiye aur intezar karein. Form aur documents submit karne ke baad aap ko receipt milegi jis par tracking maloomat hogi.

Step 7 — Permit hasil karein. Kuch centers same-day issue karte hain, kuch courier se bhejte hain. CNIC par diye gaye postal address par card ajayega — is liye NADRA record me apna address update rakhna zaroori hai.

Online Tareeqa: Agar Online Apply Mojood Hai

Punjab me IDP ke liye DLIMS online system mojood hai, jo Punjab Traffic Police ka official portal hai (dlims.punjab.gov.pk). Online apply ka tareeqa ye hai:

Step 1 — DLIMS portal kholein. dlims.punjab.gov.pk par jayein aur apne CNIC se account banayein ya login karein. Dastak App (Android aur iPhone dono par mojood) se bhi yehi sari services mobile par mil jati hain.

Step 2 — International License select karein. License services me se "International License" category chunein. Portal aap ke maujooda permanent license ka record DLIMS database se khud verify karega.

Step 3 — Form bharein aur documents upload karein. CNIC ki copy, passport ki copy (visa page ke sath), maujooda driving license ki copy aur taaza tasveer upload karein. Har file ka size aur format portal par di gayi had ke andar hona chahiye.

Step 4 — PSID generate karein aur fee pay karein. Form submit karne par system aik PSID (Payment Slip ID) banayega. Isay ePay Punjab app, ATM, internet banking ya mobile banking se pay karein. Payment confirm hone par aap ko SMS aur email dono par confirmation ajayegi — kuch centers 24 ghante tak ka sync time lete hain, is liye "Unpaid" status dikhe to foran dobara pay mat karein, thoda intezar karein.

Step 5 — Track karein aur card wusool karein. DLIMS portal ya 8113 par CNIC bhej kar SMS se apni application track karein. Card aap ke CNIC par diye gaye postal address par courier se bhej diya jayega.

Note: Sindh, KP, Balochistan aur Gilgit-Baltistan me mukammal online IDP apply system abhi Punjab jaisa mojood nahi — wahan manual process zyada common hai. Islamabad me Citizen Facilitation Center (CFC) ka counter process fast hai, wahan waqti tor par card jari hone ki maloomat mojood hai. Apne soobe ki official traffic police website ya helpline se pehle confirm kar lein ke online facility aap ke ilaqe me available hai ya nahi.

Kitna Waqt Lagega Aur Permit Kaise Milega

Processing time har office me mukhtalif hai:

• Same-day issuance: Punjab ke kuch Khidmat Markaz centers, agar subah documents mukammal jama ho jayein to usi din IDP issue kar dete hain.
• Standard time: Aam tor par 5 working days ka waqt lagta hai.
• Islamabad CFC: Citizen Facilitation Center ke mutabiq counter process mukammal hone ke baad maximum 10 minute me IDP card taiyar ho sakta hai.
• Rawalpindi: Same-day collection ya 7 se 10 din me postal delivery ka option hai.

Permit ya to aap ko counter se mil jayega, ya courier ke zariye aap ke CNIC par registered postal address par bhej diya jayega. Courier charges (Punjab me Rs. 480) isi liye fee me alag se add hote hain. IDP ki validity aam tor par aik saal hai — ye Punjab, Peshawar aur Islamabad teenon ki official maloomat me aik jaisi hai. Faisalabad Traffic Police ki website par teen saal ki validity ka bhi zikr hai, lekin standard aur sab se zyada tasleem shuda muddat aik saal hai. Expiry ke baad IDP renew hota hai, dobara poora process nahi karna parta — bas updated documents aur fee ke sath reapply karna hota hai.

Aam Ghaltiyan Jo Log Karte Hain

1. Learner permit par apply karna: Learner permit IDP ke liye qabil-e-qabool nahi hai. Pehle permanent computerized license banwayein, phir IDP ki taraf ayein.
2. License ki kam validity: Agar aap ke license ki baqi muddat aik saal se kam hai to application reject ho jayegi. Pehle license renew karwayein, phir IDP apply karein.
3. Passport ki 6 mahine se kam validity: Punjab ki official shart hai ke passport kam az kam 6 mahine valid ho. Passport ki expiry qareeb ho to pehle usay renew karwayein.
4. Visa ke baghair jana: Punjab Traffic Police ki website destination mulk ke visa ki shart lagati hai. Visa na laga ho to confirmed ticket ya safar ka koi saboot zaroor le jayein.
5. Galat jurisdiction se apply karna: Jahan se license jari hua hai, wahin se IDP lein. Dosre soobe ya sheher ke office se apply karne par application wapas ho sakti hai.
6. Sirf IDP le kar videsh jana: IDP aap ke national license ka tarjuma hai, us ki jagah nahi. Videsh me gaari chalate waqt Pakistani license, IDP aur passport teeno sath rakhein.
7. Address update na karna: Courier IDP aap ke CNIC par registered address par bhejta hai. Agar address purana hai to card gum ho sakta hai — NADRA record update rakhein.
8. Destination mulk ke qawaneen na parhna: Har mulk ke apne traffic rules hain — kuch mulkon me IDP ke sath local registration ya insurance bhi darkar hota hai. Safar se pehle us mulk ke rules zaroor check karein.

Aksar Poche Jane Wale Sawal

Kya Pakistan ka IDP har mulk me chal sakta hai?

Pakistan ka IDP 150 se zyada mumalik me tasleem hai kyun ke Pakistan Vienna Convention on Road Traffic ka rukan hai. Phir bhi safar se pehle destination mulk ke rules check karna zaroori hai kyun ke kuch mulkon me IDP ke sath mazeed documents ya insurance bhi mangi jati hai.

Kya IDP ke liye driving test dobara dena parta hai?

Nahi, IDP ke liye koi driving test nahi hota. Ye sirf aap ke maujooda valid permanent license ki bunyad par jari hota hai. Test sirf us waqt dena tha jab aap ne pehli dafa apna national license banwaya tha.

Kya IDP online renew ho sakta hai?

Punjab me DLIMS portal ke zariye IDP ki renewal online ki ja sakti hai — is ke liye aap ka license record DLIMS me mojood hona chahiye aur documents (CNIC, passport, expired IDP) upload kar ke fee PSID se pay karni hoti hai. Dosre soobon me manual renewal hi common hai.

Agar mera passport ya license expiry ke qareeb ho to IDP milega?

Nahi. Punjab ki official shart ke mutabiq license ki validity apply ke waqt kam az kam 1 saal honi chahiye aur passport 6 mahine se zyada valid hona chahiye. Pehle in dono ko renew karwayein, phir IDP ke liye apply karein.

Kya IDP ke baghair videsh me gaari chalane par saza ho sakti hai?

Ji haan. Bohat se mulkon me baghair IDP gaari chalana qanoonan jurm hai aur is par jurmana, gaari ki zabti ya qanooni karwai ho sakti hai. Is ke ilawa gaari kiraye par lene wali companies bhi IDP mangti hain, is liye safar se pehle IDP banwana hi safe tareeqa hai.
