International Driving License/Permit from Lahore

[pwuser153093957428]

This is a guide for those who wish to apply for an International Driving License/Permit in Lahore.

Step 1: Get the following documents first

An attested copy of C.N.I.C. (1 Copy)
A copy of Valid Driving License issued from Lahore. (Valid for at least 1 Year or more otherwise renew it first)
A copy of Pakistani Passport valid for at least 6 Months with Visa. (Front Page and Valid Visa Page only)
2 attested (backside) photograph (Passport Size)

Applicants should bring their original C.N.I.C, Driving License and Passport with them. (In case they need it)

Step 2: Getting the International Form and Court Fees

Once you have above documents with you then you should get an International Form and Court Fees. You should visit District Courts Lahore (Zila Katchery) and ask anyone for Allah Ditta Forms. Get your form (plus file) and court fees (stamps) from there.

You need to fill that form so do have a Pen with you.

Step 3: Getting a Challan Form

The next step is to visit HBL Civil Lines Branch (Opens 9 am) near District Courts and fill the Deposit Slip (You will find a Deposit Slip with RS 450 Stamp and you need to fill this slip). Ask a staff member if you are not sure about it.

Submit your fees and you are all done.

Note: You will get International License forms and challan form only from the places mentioned above. So, just follow these steps and you will save a lot of time.

Step 4: Submit your file

The final step is to submit your file and it can be submitted at any license centre in Lahore. You can also submit your file at Traffic Office next to District Courts.

Else you can visit nearest License Centre next day at 8.15 am and you will have to wait less if you have file and stamps ready as they usually process these first from 8.30 am to 9.00 am.

Your License will be ready in 1-2 Days and delivered to your address in 3-5 Days.

It is a simple process if you follow the above steps. Otherwise, the staff will not be co-operative and they will never be willing to guide you properly.

I hope this will help.

I just got my IDP today, and here is my experience which was relatively simpler. I went to the traffic police office in Liberty round-about in Lahore. They'll give you a form that you need to fill in, and accompany it with the following documents (so you might as well get these done before hand).

1. Copy of CNIC
   No attestation necessary. Just a photocopy of your valid CNIC.

2. Copy of valid driving license with at least 1 year validity.
   Must be valid for 1 year or more. My driving license had an expiry of 01-Jun-2020, so it was just short of few days. But that wasn't good enough. I had to renew my local driving license before i could get IDP.

3. Copy of Pakistani passport valid for at least 06 months
   Well if you don't have this, you can't really fly abroad, now can you! Main page copy with your pictures and credentials should suffice.

4. Copy of Valid Visa
   If it is a paper visa, just give a copy of that. And if it's a sticker visa that is on your passport, then a copy of the page with that valid visa.

5. Two passport size photograph
   Blue or white background, doesn't matter, at least that is why they told me.

6. Rs. 66 court fee ticket
   The Only tricky part. You must get this from District Court (Zilla Kacheri) Lahore. From what i know, this is near Govt College Lahore. I just asked someone is the office to get them for me.

7. Rs. 450 Bank Challan Fee
   Bank deposit slip in an HBL Account. Deposited in any HBL branch. Account number would be written on the form they give you. You can get this deposited even days in advance. I think it's good for months.

Once you've all the documents with you, just visit their office before 3 pm, even on Saturdays. It would be a good idea to have your original CNIC and original driving license with you, but I don't think it is mandatory. Anyway, once at the office, you'll see a ticket issuing machine right next to the entrance glass door. Type in your mobile number, and then press the IDP button (or was it vice versa and you'll get a slip with your turn number. Once your number comes, just go to the section where they'll take your forms and the picture. In the end you have to pay them Rs.180 for the courier. It is a very small office btw.

The important thing is that your address on driving license must be correct. Since they basically just mail the license in an envelope with a window depicting the actual license. If the address is incorrect, then you may have trouble getting your license. I got mine in 2 days, literally! But there was someone there who was complaining that he still haven't gotten his license after 3 weeks. And the officers their were inquiring him regarding the accuracy of his address.

Frankly, I was impressed by the straight forwardness of the process, as well as the general attitude of the police staff there who were quite professional and helpful. Sadly, we're accustomed to the opposite in general public offices.

Hope this helps.
