An IDP is essentially a translation document of your driver’s license in several different languages. It is used to translate your driver’s license into a language that your destination country understands.

It is by no means a replacement for your original driver’s license or a legal document like a passport. An IDP is only valid if you have your original license with you.

Some countries, car rental agencies, insurance companies, and/or traffic authorities may ask to see your IDP whenever you are abroad, so it is best to keep one handy at all times.

Then again, it is highly important that you always carry and show your original license along with the IDP whenever asked.

Our pricing varies depending on the years of validity and package. The digital package starts at $40. Please visit here for more detailed information.

If your driver’s license is in the same language as the language of your destination country, you most likely will not need an IDP. In fact, in most cases, when your driver’s license is in English, you will not need an IDP. If you are unsure, it is best to check if you need an IDP by contacting your destination country’s traffic authorities and offices.

You will have to submit a valid copy of the front and back of your driver’s license for verification. You will also need to upload a passport style photo and your signature. Once your payment for the application has been accepted, we will process the application! Start your application here.
