Where an IDP can be used and its limitations


An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recognized in over 150 countries. It's important to note that you must use the correct IDP format to ensure its validity. The most widely accepted format is the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic. 


To make things easier for you, we've compiled a list of countries where you can use your IDP on our website: https://internationaldriversassociation.com/countries/    


Please remember to always present your valid driver's license along with your IDP, and any additional supporting documents that local authorities may require. It's worth noting that an IDP is not a legal or official document, and is only valid when shown with your valid driver's license. Additionally, not all countries allow tourists and foreigners to drive, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the driving laws and regulations of your destination country prior to your travels. 

Drive safely and enjoy your journey!
