About International Driver's Permits

An International Driver's Permit (IDP) is a document that translates your driver's license information into multiple languages, allowing you to drive legally in foreign countries. Here's some general information about IDPs:

  • An IDP is valid for one year from the date of issue
  • You must carry both your IDP and your original driver's license when driving abroad
  • In Canada, IDPs are issued by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA)
  • You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid Canadian driver's license to apply
  • The IDP is recognized in over 150 countries worldwide
  • One or two photos are typically required for the application

Countries That Require an IDP

Many countries require or recommend an International Driver's Permit for foreign drivers, including:

  • Most European countries (including Italy, Spain, Germany, and Greece)
  • Japan
  • South Korea
  • Thailand
  • Brazil
  • China
  • India
  • Russia
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Many African and South American countries

Even in countries where an IDP is not legally required, it is often recommended as it provides a universally recognized form of identification and helps overcome language barriers.
