It's important to note that while your IDP is accepted in many countries, there are some countries where it may not be recognized or impose strict restrictions. It's always a good idea to check it first from your IDP provider in which IDP is suited for a specific country. 


The following countries only accept the actual Physical IDP Booklet:

  • Spain

  • United Arab Emirates

  • Some parts of Thailand 


Here are the countries that currently do not recognized our IDP. We do not recommend using our IDP in these countries


  • Japan

  • South Korea

  • China

  • North Korea 


In addition to being accepted in many countries, your Digital IDP is also recognized by many car rental companies. This means that you can use your Digital IDP to rent a car in many parts of the world.


Overall, your IDP is a valuable document that can help you navigate the roads of many different countries. Be sure to keep it with you whenever you travel abroad and always check the specific requirements of the country you plan to visit.
