International Driving Permits in the UAE: What tourists need to know
Tourists must secure the proper documentation to drive legally and avoid serious penalties in the UAE. Since the United Arab Emirates adopted amendments to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic in 2011, driving in the country has been permitted for foreign tourists only with a valid International Driving Permit (IDP), also referred to as an International Driving License. This requirement is far from a formality — it is strictly enforced by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), as well as car rental agencies and insurance providers. All driver information, including the IDP, must be registered in the national TARS system. Without it, renting a vehicle or securing insurance is not possible. What happens if you drive without an International Driving License? Tourists who choose to drive in the UAE without a valid International Driving Permit may face serious consequences — especially in the event of an accident. Even if no one is injured, not having an IDP can result in fines ranging from Dh5,000-15,000 (approximately $1,360–4,080). In more severe cases — such as those involving injury or major damage — administrative detention of up to seven days, or even longer, may be imposed. These regulations highlight the UAE's strong commitment to road safety and international compliance. Where can tourists get an International Driving Permit? Since 2011, the online service has been the primary platform offering International Driving Licenses for tourists visiting Dubai. It's important to note that this service is exclusively for tourists and not available to UAE citizens or permanent residents. The International Drivers Association (IDA) issues IDPs through its offices in neighboring countries. The process is fast and efficient: a digital version of the International Driving Permit is delivered via email or messenger within five minutes, allowing car rental companies to begin processing and register the document in the TARS system. The physical International Driving License is delivered to the tourist's address in Dubai within one to three hours, depending on the time of day and location. Conclusion An International Driving License is more than a recommendation — it's a mandatory requirement for renting and legally driving a vehicle in the UAE. Failure to comply can result in fines, detention, or denial of insurance coverage. To avoid these issues, tourists are strongly advised to apply for an IDP in advance through or request one upon arrival in Dubai. In both cases, it's essential to ensure the document meets RTA standards and is recognised by rental agencies and insurance providers. This ensures a smooth, legal, and stress-free driving experience across the Emirates.
