International Driving Permit Countries

International Driving Permit Countries

When traveling abroad, it’s important to remember that each country has its own driving rules and requirements. To stay compliant, you should always carry an International Driving Permit along with your valid driver’s license. If you’re planning to drive overseas, it’s wise to check the list of international driving permit countries before your trip.

These agreements created a standardized format for IDPs so that member countries could easily accept and understand foreign driving licenses. Today, over 175+ countries recognize ITCA IDPs based on one or both conventions.

In most countries, the printed IDP booklet is recognized as an official supporting document, while digital versions alone may not be accepted.

Please note: ITCA does not issue international driving permit for Japan & South Korea.
