Frequently Asked Question

Think of an IDP as your driver’s license's multilingual companion. Its main job? To translate your driver’s license into various languages, helping bridge the communication gap in your destination country. But, let's be crystal clear: an IDP isn't a replacement for your original driver’s license or a heavyweight document like your passport.
The IDP holds its validity only when you've got your trusty original license right there with it. Sometimes, in certain countries or when dealing with car rentals, insurers, or traffic authorities abroad, they might request a peek at your IDP. To stay ahead, having it within reach is a smart move.
Remember though, it’s essential to stress that your primary mission is to carry and flaunt your actual driver’s license alongside the IDP whenever it's in demand. The IDP acts as a helpful sidekick, complementing your original license, but the star of the show is always your primary license.

The cost of an IDP differs based on the chosen validity and package. For the digital package, prices start at $49, while the printed package starts at $69 inclusive of shipping fees. For a more comprehensive breakdown of pricing, kindly refer to this link for further details.

If your driver’s license matches the language of your destination country, you may not require an IDP. Typically, when your driver’s license is in English or the same language as the destination, an IDP might not be necessary. However, if uncertain, contacting the traffic authorities or offices in your destination country is the best approach to confirm whether an IDP is required.

An IDP functions as a translation document and is not an official government-issued driver’s license. It solely serves as a supplementary document that translates your original license, allowing you to drive internationally.
