Languages in Which an IDP is Issued


An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that allows you to drive legally in foreign countries. It is issued in several languages to make it easier for authorities in other countries to understand your driving credentials. 


We issue the Standard 1949 Geneva Convention On Road Traffic IDP format. Here are the languages in which this IDP format is issued:

  1. English

  2. Russian

  3. Arabic

  4. German

  5. Spanish

  6. Portuguese

  7. Japanese

  8. Italian

  9. Chinese

  10. Vietnamese

  11. Thai

  12. French


It is important to note that an IDP is not a replacement for a valid driver's license. It is only a translation of your existing driver's license. Additionally, you must carry both your IDP and your original driver's license with you at all times while driving in a foreign country. 

In conclusion, if you plan to drive in a foreign country, it is essential to obtain an IDP in a language recognized in that country. This will help you avoid any legal issues and ensure a smooth driving experience. To get an IDP, you may visit this link: https://internationaldriversassociation.com/checkouts/
