IDP would be couriered to the citizen at his\/her address abroad by the respective RTOs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This notification also removes the conditions of a Medical Certificate and a valid visa at the time of making the request for the IDP in India. The idea is that a citizen who has a valid driving licence should not have a requirement for another medical certificate. Further, there are countries where the Visa is issued on arrival or Visa is issued at the last moment: in such cases,\u00a0 VISA is not available when applying for the IDP in India before travel. Hence, the IDP application can be made without a VISA now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"MinistryNameSubhead text-center\"><strong>Ministry of Road Transport &amp; Highways<\/strong><\/div>\n<div
