No Additional Tests: Travelers with an IDP can bypass additional driving tests in their destination countries.
Visit the official website of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways or the respective Regional Transport Office (RTO).
If applying online, complete the necessary forms, including Form 4A (a certificate attesting to the individual's competence in driving) and Form 1A (a medical fitness form).Furnish details such as driving license information, proof of residence, and identification.
