You may need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) to drive in some countries. Your eligibility for application depends on: 1. The country you’re visiting 2. Meeting the age requirement of the destination country (usually18 years old) 3. Having a valid driver's license (learner's permit is not allowed) 4. Planned duration of your stay (usually 1-12 months)

Over 200 nationalities are eligible to apply, all you need is a valid driver's license from your home country.

You will need to fill out our online form and submit the required documents: a copy of your current driving license and a passport size photo.

You will receive a print ready PDF document in 2 to 3 working days.

No. An International Driver’s Permit is not a standalone document. It's a translation that should be presented with your domestic driver's license.

It differs from one country to another. The most common risks include inability to rent vehicles and being fined by the local authorities. Before travelling, we advise you to get familiar with the recommendations of the local embassy (perhaps online).

We recommend you to renew the license. Rental agencies are unlikely to accept an expired license with your International Driver’s Permit.

The International Driver's Permit is mainly for foreign tourists who travel for short periods of time. It is not appropriate for foreign students and long-term residents and they should follow the local policy to apply for a driver's license. In Japan, Spain, Russia, Korea, Taiwan(China), and Sri Lanka the International Driver's Permit is not valid due to the local policy.

If you are planning to drive in Canada, the United State or Australia, please note that different states/provinces have their own driver's license policies. Before driving, get familiar with the rules and requirements.
