International Driving Permit Guide
If you plan to drive while living abroad, you should consider
obtaining an International Driving Permit (IDP). In some countries,
you are only required to have a valid drivers license from
your home country, but in others you must also have an IDP.
In yet others, an IDP will allow you to drive so long as you
are in the process of acquiring a local license. An IDP is
not itself a license, but a certification of a national license
in nine languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German,
Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish). When driving, if
you are stopped for any reason by a police officer, the IDP
indicates that you have a valid national license and that
your credentials should be honored. An IDP can save you hours
of delay should you be involved in a traffic violation. You
must obtain the IDP in your home country, prior to departure.
For further information on driving abroad, including a listing
of countries that accept or require the International Driving
Permit, and for IDP application information, contact the appropriate
automobile association.
