The standards for the International Driver's License were defined by the United Nations Conference on Road Traffic, Final Act held in the year 1968. According to this law, the International Driver's License is defined mainly as a document:

• That states the main information contained in the Original Driver's License in English or French.
• That has the photo and signature (or thumbprint) of the owner of the vehicle.
• That states the categories of vehicles for which the Original Driver's License is valid.
• That states the restrictive conditions of driving and terms of disqualifications.
International Driver's License consists of two parts. The first part consists of a booklet which states all the standards approved by the latest UN convention and a plastic identity card. The genuineness of the information on the plastic card is ascertained by the presence of a hologram.

How to obtain an International Driving License
International driving permits can be had of the various zonal transport offices. This permit is valid up to one year. One is required to get his/her license from the country he/she is visiting within a period of one year. Following documents are required while applying for an International Driving Permit:
• Valid Driving License issued
• Valid Passport
• Valid Visa
• Photocopy of address proof (attested)
• Photocopy of Birth Certificate (attested)
• Fee of Rs. 200/-

just walk into your local RTO office and enquire on the time it would take. its most probably 3 days! but you also needs to have your visa and your passsport when you walk in there to show as proof. they will need a photocopy for their filing process.
