Thanks everyone, especially Kermi. That's good news. I also need it for travel over summer. You can ony get an international license here attached to your UAE license, not to my Aus one (so i was told today).
I got it Al Wasl post office, hardly waited (about 5mins) then it took about 10 mins to fill out the forms etc. they did take my visa copy and the lady on the phone said to do it when the visa is still valid, however you would assume that is the UAE license stays valid you should be able to get the IL!
You can also get an International Driving License at Dnata Travel Centre on Shk Zayed Road. You get a 25% discount if you pay with a Dnata Emirates NBD Platinum credit card. There is hardly any rush there so you would be better off getting your license at Dnata.
Still got a license from home. assuming that UAE license will not be valid. Hoping it will just be revalid when my visa is sorted, if you get what i mean? I dont usually stress but am feeling stressed over this. we cant find our marriage certificate :(
Do you want the international license just because of visa cancellation? I can only find an old link now, but I read again recently that UAE license remains valid.

I don't know why you would need your visa to get an international driver's license, especially if you are wanting one to go with your home country license.
can anyone tell me where I can get an international license? The website says at post offices but that seems odd to me. Can i also get one for DH if he is not with me?
Thanks.
i had to get one for my hubs long long time ago, wasnt a problem.
We also got it from Automobile and Touring Office near Al Mamzar Beach/close to Century shopping mall. Took about 10 min incl. waiting. They required passport, photo and Dubai license.

You can also get one at any driving institute. I got one at EDI in MOE.
If your visa is cancelled, will your UAE license still be valid? An international driver's license is only valid if the license from your country is still valid
Thanks Chizz. Called them up (they gave me another number 04 2961110)
Said I can get it at the post office. Need pp copy, visa copy, 2 pp photos and 140dhs. They also said I can get it for DH even if he is not there
Got to get it done because my visa is going to be cancelled.... But that is another story :(
My DH got one a few months ago from the Automobile and Touring Office near Al Mamzar Beach - Didn't know you could get them at the P.O., but could be wrong...here's contact details and a map link:
