Rejser du også til andre lande? Et internationalt kørekort fra International Drivers Association er bredt anerkendt i mange destinationer verden over og kan gøre afhentning af lejebil, politikontroller og grænseovergange mere gnidningsfrie gennem resten af din rejse.

An International Driving Permit (IDP), sometimes referred to as an International Driver's License (though "Permit" is the correct term), is an official, United Nations-regulated travel document that translates your valid Bangladeshi (BRTA) driver's license into multiple languages. It's recognized in over 150 countries and serves as proof that you hold a valid driver's license in your home country.

Key Purpose and Functions of an International Driving Permit (IDP):

  • Translation: The primary function is to translate your license details, making it understandable to foreign authorities, especially in countries where English is not the primary language.
  • Certification: It certifies that you possess a valid driving license issued by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) and specifies the vehicle categories you are authorized to drive.
  • Standardization: It provides a consistent, globally recognized format for your driving credentials.

Important Note: An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a supplementary document and is only valid when accompanied by your original, valid Bangladeshi (BRTA) driving license. It does not replace your national license nor grant any additional driving privileges.

Why Do You Need an International Driving Permit (IDP)? (কেন আপনার আইডিটি প্রয়োজন?)

Holding an International Driving Permit (IDP) offers several benefits and is often a necessity for Bangladeshi drivers abroad:

  • Legal Requirement: Many countries legally require foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with their national license. Driving without one where it's required can lead to fines, vehicle seizure, or even more severe penalties.
  • Overcoming Language Barriers: It helps bridge communication gaps with local traffic police and authorities who may not understand Bengali or English.
  • Car Rental: Most car rental agencies worldwide require an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your national license to rent a vehicle. This is often due to their insurance policies.
  • Peace of Mind: Carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) provides assurance that your driving credentials will be understood and accepted, reducing potential stress or complications during your travels.

Additional Identification: While not a primary ID, it can sometimes serve as a supplementary form of identification as it contains verified personal information in multiple languages.

How to Get Your International Driving Permit from AAB

The AAB has a clear process for International Driving Permit (IDP) application. Here’s what Bangladeshi citizens and eligible expats need to know:

Eligibility for Bangladeshi International Driving Permit (IDP)

  • You must hold a valid Bangladeshi (BRTA) Driving License.
  • Your BRTA license must have at least one month of validity remaining on the date of your International Driving Permit (IDP) application.
  • You must be at least 18 years of age.

Required Documents:

  1. AAB Application Form: Duly completed in capital letters, with information matching your BRTA Driving License exactly. This form can be downloaded from the AAB website.
  2. Photocopy of Valid BRTA Driving License: Must have at least one month's validity. An e-license issued by BRTA is acceptable.
  3. Photocopy of National Identity Card (NID): A clear copy is required.
  4. Photocopy of Valid Passport: The information page showing your personal details and photograph.
  5. Photographs:

    • One (1) passport-sized photograph.

    • Four (4) stamp-sized photographs. (Note: One AAB document mentions two stamp-sized and one passport-sized. It's advisable to prepare for the higher quantity as stated in the AAB FAQ or confirm directly with AAB).

BRTA License Verification:

  • If your BRTA driving license was not issued by the Mirpur BRTA office, it must be verified at the respective regional BRTA office from which it was issued.
  • Your national driving license must be verifiable in the BRTA's online DL (Driving License) checker. If not found, it will be considered fake by AAB, and you will not be eligible for an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Application Submission Process:

  • Submit the completed application form and all required documents to the AAB office in Maghbazar, Dhaka.
  • The applicant does not necessarily need to apply in person; documents can be submitted through an acquaintance.
  • International Driving Permit (IDP) submission and delivery hours are typically Sunday to Thursday, 09:00 AM – 04:00 PM (confirm with AAB for current timings).

The AAB offers several processing options with varying fees based on vehicle class. The vehicle categories (A, B, C, D, E) on the International Driving Permit (IDP) will correspond to those on your BRTA license.

International Driving Permit (IDP) Validity (আইডিটি মেয়াদ):

  • International Driving Permits issued by the AAB are valid for 12 months (one year) from their date of issue.
  • They are issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic.
  • The International Driving Permit (IDP)'s validity cannot extend beyond the expiry date of your accompanying BRTA driving license.
  • An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not valid for driving within Bangladesh itself.

International Driving Permit (IDP) Renewal, Loss, or Correction (আইডিটি নবায়ন, হারানো গেলে বা সংশোধন) :

  • Renewal: The AAB does not currently offer renewal services for International Driving Permits. Upon expiry, you must reapply for a new one with all updated documentation, following the standard application process. This is crucial for Bangladeshis residing abroad long-term.
  • Lost International Driving Permit (IDP) (During Validity):

    1. File a General Diary (GD) with the police.

    2. Submit a copy of the GD to AAB, along with a photocopy of the lost International Driving Permit (IDP) or your BRTA license (if available).
    3. Pay a replacement fee of 500 BDT.
    4. Application for replacement must be made in person. If no photocopy is available, a full reapplication is needed.
  • Correction of Errors: If errors are found on your International Driving Permit (IDP), submit it to the AAB office. If the error is AAB's fault, it's corrected free of charge. If it's the applicant's fault, a 500 BDT correction fee applies.

Understanding the International Regulatory Framework (আন্তর্জাতিক নিয়ন্ত্রক কাঠামো)

The International Driving Permit (IDP) system is governed by international UN conventions:

  • 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic: This is the primary convention under which Bangladesh issues International Driving Permits through the AAB. International Driving Permits under this convention are typically valid for one year.
  • 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic: Another key convention, with some differences in International Driving Permit (IDP) validity (up to three years) and recognized countries.

Bangladesh's adherence to the 1949 Geneva Convention means your AAB-issued International Driving Permit (IDP) will generally be recognized in other countries that are also signatories to this convention. However, it's always best to verify with the specific country you plan to visit.

Driving Abroad with Your Bangladeshi International Driving Permit (IDP) (আপনার বাংলাদেশী আইডিটি নিয়ে বিদেশে ড্রাইভিং)

General Requirements:

When driving overseas, always carry:

  1. Your valid original Bangladeshi (BRTA) Driving License.
  2. Your AAB-issued International Driving Permit (IDP).
  3. Your valid Passport and any necessary Visas.

General Requirements:

When driving overseas, always carry:

  1. Your valid original Bangladeshi (BRTA) Driving License.
  2. Your AAB-issued International Driving Permit (IDP).
  3. Your valid Passport and any necessary Visas.

Country-Specific International Driving Permit (IDP) Recognition:

While your 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit (IDP) is widely accepted, rules can vary.

  • USA: An International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended and often required by car rental agencies. You must obtain it before traveling to the U.S.. State-specific rules can differ, so check with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of the states you'll drive in.
  • UK: Holders of UK licenses need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Bangladesh , implying a reciprocal need for Bangladeshi license holders in the UK.
  • Canada, Australia, UAE, European Countries, Saudi Arabia: International Driving Permit (IDP) requirements vary. It is strongly advised to check with the embassy or consulate of each destination country well before your trip.
  • General Rule: An International Driving Permit (IDP) is especially crucial if your license is not in English or the local language of your destination, or if the country explicitly mandates it.

Renting a Vehicle Overseas (বিদেশে গাড়ি ভাড়া) :

Besides your BRTA license and International Driving Permit (IDP), rental agencies typically require:

  • A valid Passport.
  • A Credit Card in the main driver's name (with sufficient funds for a security deposit).
  • Meeting a minimum age requirement (often 21 or 25).
  • Your rental confirmation.

Vehicle Insurance: Your Bangladeshi car insurance is unlikely to cover you abroad. Ensure you have adequate rental car insurance :

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) / Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): Covers damage/theft of the rental.
  • Third-Party Liability (TPL): Crucial for damage/injury to others.
  • Consider additional coverage offered by the rental agency or your travel insurance.

Adapting to Foreign Road Rules and Culture

Driving in a foreign country presents unique challenges, especially for those accustomed to Bangladeshi road conditions.

  • Key Regulatory Differences: Be aware of :

    • Side of the Road: Bangladesh drives on the left. Many countries (e.g., USA, most of Europe) drive on the right.

    • Right-of-Way: Rules at intersections, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings vary significantly.
    • Speed Limits: Usually strictly enforced and vary by road type.
    • Road Signage: Familiarize yourself with local signs.
    • Drink-Driving Laws: Often much stricter with severe penalties. The safest approach is zero alcohol if driving.

  • Driving Culture Shock: The driving environment in Bangladesh is often characterized by heavy congestion, flexible adherence to rules, and frequent use of horns. Adapting to more structured, rule-based systems abroad requires significant adjustment and a patient, observant mindset.

  • Tips for Safe Driving Abroad:

    • Research Local Laws: Thoroughly study the driving regulations of your destination before you go.

    • Stay Alert & Drive Defensively: Anticipate the actions of other drivers.
    • Avoid Distractions: Don't use your mobile phone while driving unless legally permitted with a hands-free system.

BRTA's Role and Information

The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) is responsible for issuing national driving licenses in Bangladesh. While the AAB issues the International Driving Permit (IDP), the validity and authenticity of your BRTA license are foundational. The BRTA's online services may be used for license verification as part of the International Driving Permit (IDP) application process. For official information regarding your BRTA license, you would typically refer to BRTA channels. The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka notes that after obtaining a BRTA license, individuals can contact the AAB to convert it to an International Driving Permit (IDP), and refers to a BRTA webpage for International Driving Permit (IDP) information, though this link has been found problematic.

Pre-Travel Checklist for Bangladeshi Drivers

  1. Verify International Driving Permit (IDP) Needs: Check specific International Driving Permit (IDP) requirements for your destination(s) via their embassy/consulate.
  2. Apply for International Driving Permit (IDP) via AAB: Ensure you use only the Automobile Association of Bangladesh.
  3. Check License & Passport Validity: Ensure your BRTA license and passport are valid for your entire trip, with sufficient buffer.
  4. Gather Documents: Collect all necessary documents for the AAB International Driving Permit (IDP) application.
  5. Allow Processing Time: Apply well in advance, considering AAB's processing times.
  6. Research Local Driving Laws: Familiarize yourself with the rules of the road in your destination country.
  7. Secure Insurance: Obtain comprehensive travel insurance and appropriate rental car insurance.
  8. Inform Banks: Notify your bank/credit card companies of your travel plans.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Få svar på de mest almindelige spørgsmål, og find hurtigt og nemt de oplysninger, du har brug for.

Et International Driving Permit er et oversættelsesdokument af dit kørekort på flere sprog. Det er et oversættelseshæfte, der oversætter dit kørekort til et sprog, som dit destinationsland forstår. Dette gør det muligt for udenlandske bilister at køre lovligt i et privat motorkøretøj og kan fungere som en form for identifikation.

Det er et internationalt rejsedokument og ikke en erstatning for dit nationale kørekort eller et juridisk dokument som et pas. Et International Driving Permit er kun gyldigt, hvis du har dit originale kørekort med dig.

Nogle lande, biludlejningsfirmaer, forsikringsselskaber og/eller færdselsmyndigheder kan bede om at se dit International Driving Permit, når du er i udlandet, så det er bedst altid at have det ved hånden. Du skal altid medbringe og vise dit nationale kørekort sammen med International Driving Permit, når du bliver bedt om det.
Et internationalt kørekort eksisterer teknisk set ikke, så det giver ikke nogen kørselsrettigheder og betragtes ikke som en erstatning for et gyldigt nationalt kørekort. Men de fleste bilister bruger ofte dette udtryk i flæng med et internationalt køretilladelse (International Driving Permit).

Et internationalt køretilladelse (International Driving Permit) er et rejsedokument, der er reguleret af internationale konventioner. Det er en oversættelse af et kørekort, som gør det muligt for indehaveren at køre i udlandet. Et International Driving Permit er ikke en erstatning for dit gyldige kørekort fra dit hjemland.
Der er nogle lande, der måske eller måske ikke anerkender dit nationale kørekort, men som officielt anerkender et International Driving Permit, der tilbyder en lokal sprogoversættelse af dit gyldige kørekort.

I nogle tilfælde kræver destinationslandets myndigheder ikke, at udenlandske besøgende har et International Driving Permit, men nogle biludlejningsfirmaer (såsom Hertz, Avis osv.) kan kræve et internationalt køretilladelse for at du kan leje en bil.

Quiz: Tag vores quiz eller kontakt dit destinationslands færdselsmyndigheder for mere information.
Dette International Driving Permit følger Genèvekonventionen om vejtrafik fra 1949.

De fleste lande anerkender International Driving Permit, hvis det præsenteres sammen med dit nationale kørekort. Bilister fra lande, der bruger ikke-romerske alfabeter (som Thailand eller Rusland), rådes ofte til at anskaffe et International Driving Permit.

Anerkendes ikke i: Nordkorea, Sydkorea, Japan

Accepterer kun International Driving Permit med ét års gyldighed påtrykt: Taiwan, Hongkong, Thailand, Spanien, De Forenede Arabiske Emirater (UAE)

Kina anerkender ikke internationale kørekort, og udenlandske bilister skal have et kinesisk kørekort.
For at få et International Driving Permit skal du bruge:

• Et gyldigt nationalt kørekort
• Et pasfoto

Proces:
1. Udfyld formularen
2. Upload fotos af for- og bagside af dit nationale kørekort
3. Upload et pasfoto
4. Vedhæft din digitale underskrift

Start din ansøgning her
For at være berettiget skal du:

• Være mindst 18 år gammel
• Have et gyldigt nationalt kørekort udstedt af dit hjemland
Ansøgning om et International Driving Permit i dit hjemland varierer og tager oftest 2–3 uger, længere hvis du sender din ansøgning med posten i stedet for at møde op personligt. Det anbefales at ansøge mindst 6 måneder før din udlandsrejse.

Nogle udbydere lover behandling af ansøgningen på under 2 uger via ekspresforsendelse.
Et International Driving Permit er i bund og grund et oversættelsesdokument af dit kørekort på flere forskellige sprog. Det bruges til at oversætte dit kørekort til et sprog, som dit destinationsland forstår.

Det er ikke en erstatning for dit originale kørekort eller et juridisk dokument som et pas. Et International Driving Permit er kun gyldigt, hvis du har dit originale kørekort med dig.
Fås på 12 sprog, hvilket gør det nemmere for dig at kommunikere med udenlandske myndigheder og forstå trafikskilte og regler i lande, hvor engelsk ikke er udbredt. Denne ekstra bekvemmelighed og tilgængelighed hjælper dig med at navigere på udenlandske veje med større selvtillid.
Denne længere gyldighedsperiode er nyttig for hyppige rejsende, der planlægger flere ture og længere ophold i udlandet, da det mindsker behovet for at anskaffe et nyt International Driving Permit til hver rejse.
At køre uden gyldigt kørekort i et fremmed land kan resultere i bøder, juridiske problemer eller andre sanktioner. Et International Driving Permit hjælper med at dokumentere, at du har et gyldigt kørekort fra dit hjemland, når du kører i udlandet.
Nogle tjenester hævder, at du kan få et International Driving Permit til en overkommelig pris uden at gå på kompromis med kvalitet eller service, og advarer mod overpris eller falske tilladelser fra uofficielle udbydere.
Nogle udbydere tilbyder verdensomspændende ekspresforsendelse, så rejsende kan modtage deres International Driving Permit hurtigt og effektivt inden rejsen.
