"I had a great experience with IDA. Although I haven’t received my permit yet, Jerald and Jamaica were both extremely helpful with my inquiries. They were friendly, responsive, and took the time to walk me through everything clearly. Most importantly, they helped expedite my order, which I really appreciated given my travel timeline. Excellent customer service so far — thank you both!"
"Hello, all ready in VE... I run into a Police Officer who reminded me nicely that my old EU (pink) german plastic licence isn't sufficient for driving here. So...IDA! April from their staff was very nice and helped me to the process quickly and professional, it took just some 15min from start through my questions and documents to receive the digital International Driving Permit. It was fun to start my week with IDA."
"I was worried that my IDP was dueto expire soon. Iam ever so grateful that Mr. Jerald,s professional prompt Support was of immense help to me with renewing my IDP.Many many thanks again Mr. Jerald.Your assistance is much appreciated."
"Jerald gets five stars because they were very helpful and worked quickly. The process gets 4 stars because, while very fast for a ‘legal’ document, it was not “within 8 minutes” as advertised / what I spent an extra $30USD for. The back & forth (my expired doc & their system not accepting the typed signature despite their site offering it as an option) took about 4 hours."
"Sunday evening at 21.00hrs Europe time sent a message and mail which was received by April. Am going off on holiday in two weeks and was afraid my demand wouldn’t be received before I go. April was so efficient and rapidly processed my demand within a record time. Have used IDA since five years already and they have always been so efficient! Thank you so much April ! Kind regards"

"The process was easy and quick. I filed before going to sleep and had my digital IDP by morning. When a category wasn't stamped, I sent a screenshot of my transport authority registration and customer service immediately fixed it. Smooth, simple and fairly priced."
"I accidently uploaded an incorrect document and went on the chat help line. Rhea was able to help and rectified my problem quickly. It's a great service and very reassuring to know the document can be with you in minutes. Thank you, Rhea!"

Find answers to common queries and get the information you need quickly and easily.
It is an international travel document and not a replacement for your domestic 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. You should always carry and show your domestic driver's license along with the IDP whenever asked.
An international driving permit (IDP) is a travel document governed by international conventions. It is a translation of a driver's license that allows the holder to drive abroad. An IDP is not a replacement for your valid driver's license from your home country.
In some cases, the destination country's government may not require foreign visitors to have an IDP, but some car rental companies (such as Hertz, Avis, etc.) may require an international driving permit for you to rent a car.
Quiz: Take our quiz or contact your destination's traffic authorities and offices for more information.
