Why do I need an IDP?
International Drivers Permit (IDP) helps you drive overseas using your own valid driver’s license.
An IDP translates your driver’s license into a language your destination country understands. It has been designed to be simple to use and easy to understand for both English and Non-English speakers. However, it is not an official identification document and cannot be used as a replacement for a driver’s license.
International Drivers Association uses the standard format of the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, which is accepted in over 150 countries. The IDP is not needed in some cases as your destination country may recognize your driver’s license as valid on its own. The best way to confirm if you need an IDP is to contact your destination country’s traffic authorities.
Our easy online application process takes less than a minute to complete!

Complementary ID Card
The Physical Complementary ID Card is an additional offering provided alongside your International Driver’s Permit (IDP) application by the International Drivers Association (IDA).
This card serves as a tangible supplementary identification document, providing essential personal information akin to the details included in your IDP Booklet. Designed for convenience, it comes in a compact, wallet-friendly size, ideal for easy storage during your travels.
Key Features:
Supplementary Identification: Contains crucial personal information including your name, date of birth, country of residence, and a photograph.
Portable and Durable: Crafted in a durable physical format, compact enough to fit into your wallet or travel pouch for convenient access.
Immediate Delivery: Dispatched promptly along with your IDP materials, arriving at your specified address based on your chosen delivery method upon successful application approval.
Please note, while the Physical Complementary ID Card offers an additional form of identification, it’s essential to confirm its acceptance in your destination country. In regions where Digital IDP Booklets might not be recognized, having the Physical Complementary ID Card, along with the Printed IDP Booklet and your original driver’s license, is advisable for adherence to local regulations.
