How long is the processing time for an International Driving Permit?
If you apply for IDP at the AAP main office at 2nd floor, AAP Tower, 683 Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City, actual processing time is about an hour.PIDP applications coursed through our Makati, Alabang, Pampanga, Lipa offices take 2 to 3 working days to process; while through Cebu and Davao offices take 4 to 5 days.
A word of caution: Using a fake/spurious international driving permit may land you into serious trouble when traveling or working abroad. Penalties may range from stiff fines to deportation or even imprisonment. Please take note that AAP is the sole authorized issuer of the Philippine International Driving Permit (PIDP). If you got your PIDP in any place other than AAP, chances are you have been issued a spurious PIDP.
To check the authenticity of the PIDP issued to you, please call or visit AAP immediately so we can establish its legitimacy. If it turns out that you are in possession of a spurious PIDP, it is better that you find out (with AAP`s help) while you are still in the country. AAP can no longer help you if and when your spurious PIDP gets you into trouble abroad.
How can I renew my International Driving Permit if I am out of the country?
If your PIDP has expired while you are still abroad, you can renew it at any AAP office through a representative (friends or relatives in the Philippines) or send an application for renewal online (click here).In case of an online renewal, a representative will still need to proceed to any AAP office to complete the process and submit the requirements needed.
If the Philippine driver’s license presented upon the previous application for your PIDP is still valid, the representative can just present a photocopy to renew the PIDP. If your local license has already expired, the representative needs to secure a temporary license from the LTO and present it to any AAP office, together with the Official Receipt(OR). If the renewed driver’s license is with you abroad, a photocopy together with the original LTO certification and OR will be needed for the renewal.
In what countries is the Philippine International Driving Permit honored?
The Philippine International Driving Permit is honored in almost all countries that are signatories to the 1949 and 1968 United Nations Convention on Road Traffic. The contracting states are listed at the back of the PIDP license.AAP Tower
