Documents needed for the International Driving Permit
Last reviewed:
Short answer
The Palestinian International Driving Permit needs three documents: your valid passport’s bio page, your valid Palestinian driving licence (front required, back recommended) and a recent personal photo on a white background. You must be 18 or older. Photograph each document whole and sharp; we check them and ask for anything missing before we submit.

The documents checklist
Have these ready before you start:
- Passport bio page — a clear image; the passport must be valid.
- Palestinian driving licence — front — required; the licence must be valid.
- Palestinian driving licence — back — recommended, so send both sides.
- A recent personal photo on a white background.
During the request we also ask for your Palestinian licence’s expiry date, so keep it handy.
Conditions for the IDP
- A valid Palestinian driving licence. If it has expired, renew it first — the IDP can’t be issued or used without it.
- Age 18 or older.
- For travel and visits. It doesn’t replace your Palestinian licence and isn’t a solution if you live permanently in another country.
- Carried with your Palestinian licence, always — never on its own.
Tips for photographing your documents
A clear photo the first time saves you a “could you retake that?” message. Before you upload:
- Capture the whole document, every edge, nothing cropped.
- Use good light and avoid flash glare on the licence.
- Hold the phone steady and make sure the text is readable, not blurry.
- Photograph both sides of the licence: front required, back recommended.
- Personal photo: recent, face clearly visible, white background.
- Upload each document in its own slot: passport in the passport field, licence in the licence field.
Common mistakes that delay a request
- An expired Palestinian licence, or one expiring during the trip.
- Blurry or cropped images of the passport or licence.
- A personal photo without a white background, or an old one.
- A document in the wrong slot, such as the passport in the licence field.
- Buying an “international licence” online instead of the official, federation-issued permit.
