How to Apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Sri Lanka
Planning to drive in Sri Lanka? If you’re a foreign visitor, you’ll need to understand the rules around the International Driving Permit (IDP) and how to get your license validated locally. Here’s everything you need to know.
Who Needs an IDP in Sri Lanka?
Strictly Legally Speaking:
- Any foreign driving license holder who does not already have a valid International Driving Permit (IDP).
- Even with an IDP, you may still need validation if your permit was issued by a non-member state of the Vienna Convention.
In Common Practice:
- Many foreign visitors carrying an IDP choose to have it endorsed by the Automobile Association of Ceylon (AA) for extra validity and peace of mind while driving in Sri Lanka.
Issuing Authorities in Sri Lanka
You can obtain or validate an IDP through:
- Department of Motor Traffic (DMT)
- Automobile Association of Ceylon (AA)
How to Apply for a Driving Permit in Sri Lanka
You have three main options to get your driving permit validated or issued:
Option 1: At the Airport (On-the-Spot Service)
Since August 2025, the Department of Motor Traffic operates a service counter at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA). Here you can obtain a temporary driving license reflecting your home country license.
⚠️ Important:
- These permits are issued exclusively for light vehicles and motorcycles.
- Permits for heavy vehicles and three-wheelers are not granted at the BIA counter.
Option 2: Apply Through Us (Hassle-Free Service)
Simply send us:
- A copy of your International Driving Permit
- A passport-size color photo
- A copy of your passport information page
We’ll handle the rest by submitting your documents to the Automobile Association of Ceylon (AA) on your behalf.
Option 3: Apply in Person
Visit either the Automobile Association of Ceylon (AA) or the Department of Motor Traffic in Werahera.
Bring with you:
- Your original driving license
- A passport-size photo
- A copy of your passport information page
You will be issued a three-month valid driving permit.
Relevant Fees
- AA Association Fee: LKR 8,500 per permit (as of 13 April 2025)
- Our Administrative Fee:
- LKR 6,500 for the first permit
- LKR 2,000 for each additional permit
