See all FAQs →An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a translation document of your driver's license in several languages. It is a translation booklet that translates your driver's license into a language your destination country understands. This allows foreign drivers to legally drive a private motor vehicle and can be a form of identification.
It is an international travel document and not a replacement for your domestic driver's license or a legal document like a passport. An IDP is only valid if you have your original license with you.
Some countries, car rental agencies, insurance companies, and/or traffic authorities may ask to see your IDP whenever you are abroad, so it is best to keep one handy at all times.
There is no such thing as an "international driver's license" — the official term is International Driving Permit (IDP), which is a UN-sanctioned translation of your existing license.
If you plan to drive abroad in a country that does not natively read your license's language, yes — most rental companies and traffic authorities will ask for one.
The IDP is recognized in 189+ countries that are signatories to the 1949 or 1968 UN Conventions on Road Traffic.
