Quick and easy way to get the international drivers permit. Edelweiss was quick to respond and clarify that all was well with my application. Pricier than going through AAA, but worth the convenience (I was able to get everything needed as I waited to board my plane). Would use again when my current ID expires.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need an IDP when driving abroad?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is essential for driving in many foreign countries as it serves as a translation of your domestic driver's license into the language of your destination country. This is particularly important in countries where your native language is not widely spoken. Having an IDP helps you avoid legal issues, fines, or even imprisonment for driving without proper documentation. Additionally, many car rental agencies require an IDP to rent a vehicle, making it a necessary document for travelers planning to drive abroad.
Is the IDP a Replacement for My Driver's License?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not the same as your driver's license, nor does it replace it. Instead, the IDP serves as a translation of your existing domestic driver's license into multiple languages, enabling you to drive legally in foreign countries that recognize the IDP.
How much does an IDP cost?
Obtaining an IDP starts at $59 for digital copies only. It's $79 if it includes a digital version of the IDP and a physical copy that can be mailed to you. Some services may offer additional options or packages that could affect the final price.
What do I need to apply for an IDP?
To apply for an IDP, you must meet the following requirements:
- Hold a valid driver's license from your home country
- Be at least 18 years old
- Provide a passport-style photo
- Complete an application form
How long does it take to get an IDP?
Applying online can yield results in as little as 5 minutes for a digital copy, while physical copies might take longer due to shipping times.
Which countries recognize the IDP?
The IDP is recognized in over 190 countries, making it a valuable document for international travelers. Countries that adhere to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic generally accept the IDP when presented alongside your domestic driver's license.
Which countries do not recognize the IDP?
While many countries accept the IDP, there are notable exceptions where it is not recognized. These include:
- Japan
- South Korea
- North Korea
- Mainland China
- Hong Kong
- Taiwan
- Vietnam
In these regions, local driving permits may be required instead
