No Confusion With An IDP Now (Paul V Lennon)

International Driving License itself is a non-government, passport-like booklet which has a purpose to serve just as an interpretation of the information containing in your native driver license. This document can only be used in conjunction with your valid national driver document and never as a driving document alone. IDL cannot be used in the territory where your original license has been issued.

The International Driving License is a special license that is used by tourists in a different country that allows them to operate a motor vehicle in that country, without having to take the driving test required to obtain a driving license in that country. This document indicates to the officials and rental car companies in another country that the individual has been judged competent to drive in their home country. The individual must already possess a valid driver's license in their home country and be over the age of 18 before an IDP will be issued to them.

The permit is not extendable or renewable and is valid for only one year from the date of issue. Every time a new IDP is required, the applicant will have to complete a new application form. In order to apply for the International driving license you have to be at least 18 years old, possess a valid government issued license, and provide us with the following:

* Passport style photo with good quality and resolution
* Photocopy of original Driving License issued by native country
* Photocopy of signature
