What is an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

The International Driving Permit (IDP) is a special license for tourists, for the purpose of allowing them to drive motor vehicles in international traffic. The IDP allows the holder to drive in foreign countries without tests or application, as it is proof that he/she already holds a valid driver’s license issued in their country of residence.

The IDP is valid for 1 year from the date of issue. It is the size of a passport, and is recognized internationally. The IDP is printed in 10 languages, English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, German, Arabic, Italian, Scandinavian and Portuguese.
