The Indian citizens who want to avail the new facilitation service are required to bring their valid passport, expired IDP number and also Indian driving licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter physical verification of the documents, they will be asked to submit duly filled in miscellaneous consular form (EAP-II) &#8211; available at the <a href=\"https:\/\/indianembassyuae.gov.in\/application-form.php\">link<\/a> &#8211; along with Dh40 as consular service fee and Dh8 as Indian Community Welfare Fund (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mea.gov.in\/icwf.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">ICWF<\/a>) charge,\u201d the advisory further revealed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, it would be required of the applicants to upload all kinds of relevant documents together with the receipt issued by the mission on the official portal www.parivahan.gov.in and also submit the requisite IDP fees online on this portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn receipt of the application through the portal, the licensing authority (MoRTH), upon verification of the documents, shall courier the IDP directly to the residential address of the applicant,\u201d the advisory further pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission let it be known that its role in this consular service is only limited to the level of facilitating submission of international Indian Driving Licence renewal application form only. \u201cAny further correspondence pertaining to the subject, including the status of the application, would need to be verified directly from the authority concerned (MoRTH) in India,\u201d the mission clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Indian citizens, buying their favorite cars in the UAE can be a daunting task owing to the price issue and especially when they have to make their ends meet.
