How to Renew your International Driving Permit in Bangladesh?

You can renew your International Driver's License at IDA’s official website. Follow the same procedure as your first application. The same rates are also offered by the IDA. You can choose from one to three years for the validity of your IDP. Their offer starts at $49 for an IDP valid for one year.

Double-check the details, especially the contact number you entered in the application form to issue International Driver's License, to avoid delay in your application. Tracking the shipment of your International Driving License can be done after our customer service informed you that the physical copy is shipped already.

Is a Local Driving Licence Valid in Bangladesh?

Tourists, such as U.S. citizens, need an IDP to drive legally in the country. When you are driving to this country, your national driving license can be used, but it would not be enough to present as a legal document. You need to support it with an International Driver’s Permit for this country. You do need to always bring with you your IDP and your local driver’s license so as to avoid any fine for driving without a license in the country.

Does an IDP Replace a Local Driving Licence?

Your International Driving Permit does not replace your local driver’s license. An IDP is just a supplementary document to your local driver’s license. Authorities will look for it while you are driving through the country.
