Can I apply for an International Driving permit online UK?

Traveling abroad often means exploring new places and cultures, and sometimes, the best way to do that is by driving. What if you didn't hear about this document earlier and need it before your next planned trip to the UK which is just around the corner? Or what if you are now already in the UK and just realized that you need this document? We at ITCA know that such things are bound to happen as it is nearly impossible to know everything needed about a place when traveling abroad. We often get this question - Can I get a UK International Driving License if already in the UK?

​

Yes, you can. ITCA offers you a SOFT COPY option (digital copy) with 30 minutes of urgent processing time. You receive the same IDP as you would if you took the hard copy option, however, in soft copy - you just have to print it with the instructions sent on email that you’d receive right after you submit your application on our website.

  1. Visit e-itca.org: This platform provides the option to apply for a digital IDP.

  2. Complete the Online Application: Fill out the online application form. Ensure that all information is accurate and complete.

  3. Upload Required Documents:
    - Name
    - Email & Phone Number
    - Current residence
    - Place of birth
    - National driver's license number

  5. Submit Application: Review the details entered and submit the application.

  6. Receive Acknowledgment: After successful submission, you will receive an acknowledgment with a unique GRN ID. Note down this ID for tracking purposes.

 

The E-ITCA team will process your application. They may verify your documents and details submitted. On processing, if all your documents are approved, you will receive a digital copy of your IDP via email. This can be printed out or stored on your mobile device for easy access.

How long does it take to get an international driving permit UK?

The processing time of your application on the ITCA website depends on what option you have chosen - Hard Copy or Soft or Digital Copy. In case you chose the former option, here is how you can apply for international driving license UK:

​

Applying for a Hard Copy IDP

  1. Visit e-itca.org: Navigate to the ITCA website, the globally recognized association that issues IDPs.

  2. Fill Out the Application Form: Complete the application form available on the ITCA website. Ensure all details are accurate.

  3. Submit Required Documents: Attach the necessary documents, which usually include a copy of your valid domestic driver’s license, passport-sized photos, and a completed application form.

  4. Pay the Fee: Pay the required fee using the available payment methods on the ITCA website.

  5. Receive Your IDP: Once processed, the hard copy of your IDP will be sent to your provided address.

When choosing the latter option (SOFT COPY), you would receive your IDP with 30 minutes of urgent processing time. 

Is Ita driving license valid in UK?

No, it has been identified as a fraudulent website and a lot of people have been scammed through this as they often get confused between ITCA and ITA. We have also observed that their website looks very similar to the ITCA website increasing the confusion among searchers and falling prey to numerous scams lately. Falling victim to a scam can result in being unable to rent a car, facing legal issues, or even being detained by authorities for using a fake document.

​

Fake websites offering fraudulent IDPs have proliferated in recent years, exploiting travelers’ trust and lack of knowledge about the proper channels for obtaining these permits. These websites often appear professional, with convincing language and official-looking logos. However, they do not issue legally recognized permits. Instead, they provide documents that are either completely fake or not recognized by any legitimate authority.
