International driving license for Aruba

An International Driving Permit is a valid translation of your domestic driving license. It does not replace your driving license. However, it provides additional support to prove the validity of your driving license. For example, if you have a U.S. driver's license or are from the United Kingdom, there's a big chance you will be able to drive in many countries with your license.

When it comes to other countries that don't have a license in English like in Spain or Portugal, you'll need to get it translated.

The official language in Aruba is Dutch. Other widely spoken languages include English and Spanish. If you come from a country that does not speak at least one (1) of these languages, it is highly recommended for you to obtain an International Driving Permit.

The IDP will help you translate your native driving license to Aruban authorities when necessary. Specifically, if your native driving license is not printed in the Roman Alphabet, the more the need for you to secure an International Driving Permit.
