What is an International Driving Permit?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) helps you drive abroad by providing a multilingual translation of your valid driver’s licence. Car rental companies often request it, and local authorities may ask to see it to help verify your licence.
Do I Need an IDP?
You can check using our destination checker to confirm whether an IDP is recommended for your trip. An IDP translates your license into multiple languages, but it cannot replace your original license which must be valid and kept with you at all times.
What is included with my multilingual driving licence translation?
Printed Booklet
The printed booklet contains your driving details, which you enter as part of your online application.
It includes 16 pages, covering:
Validity period of your permit
A list of countries where license translations are commonly requested or recommended
Vehicles you’re authorized to drive, detailed in 12 languages
Your personal photo
Your signature (drawn or uploaded image)
First and last names

Your booklet can cover a period of 1 to 3 years depending on the option chosen.
On the front of your booklet there is a QR code. When scanned, you will be taken straight to your document for easy online access.
Your printed booklet will be sent to your shipping address, with delivery times varying from 2 to 15 working days.
There is express delivery available for 2–7 days if you need it in a hurry.
The digital booklet is a great option for last-minute trips and emergencies.
Digital Only
The digital booklet is a handy PDF version designed for quick access when needed.
A digital copy ensures you always have a copy of your translated licence details.
Once your application is approved, the digital copy will be emailed to you with a download link.
Before ordering, confirm whether your destination country allows digital copies by checking here.
For added convenience, it’s recommended to carry the physical printed booklet along with your original driver’s license.
Verification Card
The verification card is a compact translation of your driving licence. It is more portable than the booklet and useful for quick document checks while travelling. It must always be used together with your original driver’s licence.
