Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has standardised the process for issuance of international driving permit across the country in adherence to Convention on International Road Traffic of 1949.
The ministry in a notification on Monday said the provision for QR code to link international driving permit (IDP) with the driving licence has also been made.
Currently, the format, size, pattern, colour etc. of IDP being issued differ across states in India. Due to this, many citizens face difficulties with their respective IDPs in foreign countries.
