Why do I need an IDP?
Why I Need International Driver's License Permit?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an official document that translates your local driver's license into multiple languages — making it easier to drive or rent vehicles abroad. It is recognized under the 1949 and 1968 UN Road Conventions and is accepted in 165+ countries worldwide. It is not a replacement for your original license: always carry both.
Your license, in 12 languages
Officials and rental agents can read your driving credentials instantly, without translation disputes.
Recognized in 167+ countries
Issued in line with the 1949 Geneva and 1968 Vienna UN Road Conventions.
Required by rental companies
Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Europcar and local agencies routinely request an IDP alongside your license.
What you receive
A digital IDP delivered to your inbox, a pocket-sized permit booklet, a compact verification card and free unlimited replacements if you ever lose your copy.
