An international driver permit, fast.
CTN processes the International Driver’s Permit for Nigerians travelling abroad, the document that lets you legally drive or hire a car in most countries alongside your national licence. Authentic and recognised, sorted without the fake-permit risk.
Your Nigerian licence, recognised wherever you drive.
Most Nigerians who try to rent a car abroad discover the problem at the rental counter. The Nigerian licence is valid, in English, with a photo and an FRSC hologram. The rental agent asks for an International Driver's Permit. Without it, no car. International Driver's Permit in Nigeria is the FRSC-issued document that removes that moment. It translates your Nigerian licence into 10 languages and pairs with the original to make the document set valid in over 150 countries party to the Geneva conventions on road traffic.
Genuine FRSC processing, not a fake document.
The IDP is only valid if issued through the FRSC channel under the Geneva convention. Fake IDPs sold by informal agents fail at foreign rental counters and at foreign immigration. We process exclusively through the FRSC channel.
Document review before submission.
Photo specifications, passport-page combinations, and signature placement are the most common rejection points. We review your documents before submission and flag anything that needs correcting. First-attempt acceptance saves 7 to 10 days.
Doorstep delivery before your travel date.
Once issued, the IDP is couriered to your home or office. Travellers booking trips 14 to 21 days out have the permit in hand before departure. For tighter timelines, we offer expedited processing on quote.

We are the IDP processing company Nigerian travellers, business executives, expat-returners, and academic delegates use because the FRSC paperwork has multiple windows and the rejection rate on DIY submissions is higher than most applicants expect. Photo specifications, document combinations, and signature placements all have specific requirements.

Most permits issue within 7 to 14 days of document handover.

Questions, answered.
How much does an International Driver's Permit cost in Nigeria?
CTN charges ₦50,000 flat processing fee. The customer pays the government's prevailing IDP fee directly to FRSC, separate from our fee. We confirm the current government fee at quote time. Total cost is the sum of both.
How long does IDP processing take?
Typical turnaround 7 to 14 days from document handover. Lagos and Abuja files often complete within 10 days. Expedited processing is available for travellers with tight timelines, quoted separately.
Which countries accept the Nigerian IDP?
Over 150 countries party to the 1949 or 1968 Geneva conventions, including US, UK, EU, UAE, Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, and most of Asia. Confirm your destination's rules before travel.
How long is the IDP valid?
1 year from date of issue. The IDP is paired with your Nigerian licence; both must be valid at point of use. If the licence expires before the IDP, the IDP becomes invalid.
Can I get an IDP if my Nigerian licence is about to expire?
Renew the Nigerian licence first, then apply for the IDP. We can run both in parallel through our Driver's Licence service. The IDP issued against a soon-to-expire licence is short-life, which is rarely useful for a traveller.
Pair this with more protection.
