What exactly is an International Driving Permit?
It is a translation of your national driving licence. Nothing more, nothing less. Official IDP produces it in 12 languages, in the UN-defined format that's recognised across borders.
A standardised translation
We translate your national driving licence into 12 languages, in the format defined by the United Nations road traffic conventions of 1949 and 1968. The same booklet is recognised by rental fleets and authorities in most of the world.
Carried alongside your original
A translation is not a standalone document. The booklet must always be presented together with your original, valid national driving licence.
Required by most rental companies
Global rental fleets like Hertz, Avis, Sixt and Europcar commonly request a translated permit to pick up a vehicle abroad. Without one, they may refuse the rental.
Delivered as PDF + booklet
You receive a signed PDF translation within minutes, with an optional 16-page printed booklet shipped worldwide by DHL Express. We do not produce plastic cards: no authority recognises them.
