The demand for international driving permits (IDPs) has increased in Noida and Ghaziabad, with more students and job seekers opting for foreign universities and companies. In 2022, Noida issued 1,343 licenses, while Ghaziabad issued 1,107 permits. The majority of these permits were obtained by students and job seekers for countries like Dubai, London, Australia, and New Zealand. The application process for IDPs is online, and applicants must have a valid driving license, passport, visa, and ticket of a foreign country. Traffic rules enforcement is stricter in countries like the United Kingdom, where minor violations can lead to heavy penalties and even cancellation of driving licenses.
