Why do I need an IDD?

Why I Need International Driver's License Permit?

Driver's license with its international translation

An International Driving Permit (IDD) is an official document that translates your local driver's license into multiple languages — making it easier to drive or rent vehicles abroad. It is recognized under the 1949 and 1968 UN Road Conventions and is accepted in 165+ countries worldwide. It is not a replacement for your original license: always carry both.
