Frequently Asked Question
How to get international driving license in Turkey?
You’re in Istanbul, planning a road trip to Cappadocia, and realize your foreign licence might not be enough. Turkey requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) for non-residents, especially if your licence isn’t in Turkish or English. The good news is that you can apply online through authorized issuers. Just submit your national licence and photo—no need to visit an office. The 1968 IDP version is accepted, as Turkey is a signatory to the Vienna Convention.
Do I need an international driving license in Turkey?
You’ve arrived with your UK licence, wondering if it’s enough. If you’re a tourist, you can drive with your national licence for up to six months—but only if it’s in English or Turkish. Otherwise, you need an IDP. Car rental companies often require it, and police checks are strict. Without one, you risk fines or being denied a rental. Better to have it and not need it.
Does Turkey require international driver’s license?
Imagine renting a car in Antalya, only to be stopped by traffic police. They ask for your IDP, and you don’t have one. While some tourists drive without it, official rules state that foreign drivers must carry an IDP alongside their national licence. This is especially true for non-English licences. The 1968 version is valid, and many travelers use services like ITCA to get it quickly before arrival.
Do you need a license to drive a moped in Turkey?
You’re at a seaside resort, eyeing a scooter rental. But can you just hop on? No—Turkey has clear rules. To drive a moped (up to 50cc), you need at least a moped licence or a full driving licence. For scooters over 50cc, you need a motorcycle licence or a Class B licence with at least three years of experience. Helmets are mandatory for both rider and passenger, and rental agencies will check your licence before handing over the keys.
