Who is eligible to apply for an IDP?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that allows you to drive in foreign countries. It is recognized in over 150 countries and is issued by your home country's government. If you're planning to travel abroad and want to drive, you may be wondering if you're eligible to apply for an IDP. Here's what you need to know:

1. Age: You must be at least 18 years old to apply for an IDP. Some countries may have a higher minimum age requirement.
   
   
2. Valid driver's license: You must have a valid driver's license from your home country. The IDP is not a substitute for a driver's license, but rather a translation of your existing license.
   
   
3. Citizenship: You must be a citizen or permanent resident of the country that issues the IDP. If you're a temporary resident, you may need to provide additional documentation.
   
   
4. Application process: The process for applying for an IDP varies by country. In most cases, you tend to forget to get an IDP prior to leaving your home country. International Drivers Association can help with an easy-to-use application form. 
   
   
5. Fees: There is a fee for obtaining an IDP, which varies by country and by issuing organizations.

If you meet the age, driver's license, citizenship, and application requirements, you are eligible to apply for an IDP. Safe travels!
