Why do I need an IDP?
IDP helps secure your travel abroad
International Drivers Permit (IDP) helps you drive overseas using your own valid driver’s license. It is often required by car rental companies and is frequently requested by traffic authorities if you show your foreign driver’s license.
An IDP translates your driver’s license into a language your destination country understands. It has been designed to be simple to use and easy to understand for both English and Non-English speakers. However, it is not an official identification document and cannot be used as a replacement for a driver’s license.
International Drivers Association uses the standard format of the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, which is accepted in over 150 countries. The IDP is not needed in some cases as your destination country may recognize your driver’s license as valid on its own. The best way to confirm if you need an IDP is to contact your destination country’s traffic authorities.
