Why carry an IDP while driving in Bahrain?
Your IDP is a valid form of identification in 150 countries worldwide and contains your name, photo and driver information.
It translates your identification information into 12 languages — so it speaks the language even if you don’t. Bahrain highly recommends an International Driving Permit.

Vacation Saved
RM, United States
We found ourselves in a difficult situation when we tried to pick up our rental car in Crete. Apparently Greece requires you to have an international drivers license, which has never happened to us before (we had just rented without one on Malta). Long story short, we were able to get the international license online through International Drivers Association in one day. We had a few uploading problems But the help desk was wonderfully responsive and it was got everything resolved. Our vacation has been saved!!!

Off to work on an international project, and the days are diminishing, and no time to get to Triple AAA to get my International Driver’s License. If you are planning to get one…STOP NOW, get online internationaldriversassociation (all one word, add www and .com)and let the next 15 minutes blow you away. Have a selfie, and a picture of the front and back of your license, and your credit card ready…….it is fast, efficient , and I had mine within 5 minutes of submitting. This was a huge relief, as I cannot afford to be out the office trying to handle all my last minute errands….and this saved me hours. Thank you so much to the IDA!!!! Well done!
When They Say Expedited, They Mean It!
Dacia Clark, United States
We did not realize until the very last second that we needed an International Driver’s Permit to rent/drive a car in Italy! Found the International Driver’s Association website and chose the expedited service. Even though I had trouble uploading the required pictures and documents online, I immediately got an email stating there was a problem, and I was able to submit the pictures via email. I had my IDP within 30 minutes. Couldn’t be happier.
Wow. Easy solutions. 5 Stars!
Kevin Groom, United States
Wow! Lisa was a calming influence in a sea of chaos. I arrived in Italy forgetting to apply for an international driving license and with such quick and easy service I was able to secure a license in less than 20 minutes, at a reasonable price. I was able to relax and look forward to beginning my holiday! Many thanks for providing solace in what could have been a devastating situation! Grazia Mille to all!
Quick and efficient!
Mike Rudd, United States
In haste of my vacation preparation I had overlooked driving privileges outside of the US. and at the last minute realized that i needed an International Driving Permit. The whole process of application and downloading documents took less than 30 minutes to complete. I recommend Sarah Mcfee (International Drivers Association) if ever you are required to get this permit!

On the train in Italy from Rome to Nepal, we decided to rent a car and drive down to Capri. I submitted for the drivers license translation and within the hour I had the translation needed to rent a vehicle. Their quick communication, speed of delivery, and quality of work is amazing!

I booked a holiday in USA with a camper van and applied for the International licence. The process was simple and quick with an immediate response. The licence book and card arrived well within the predicted time. The staff are extremely efficient and friendly and super helpful as I am not very competent on a computer.

I was worried because I found out I needed a permit just 1 day before we were going to Italy. Thank goodness for this service, I got everything thing I need to drive in a couple hours and had a very helpful person working with me. I will rest easy now it’s done. Thank you for making it so easy.

Mike Wessells, United States
When I learned that I’ll need to show an International Driving Permit on short notice, I was uncertain how much trouble it would be and whether it would even be possible. So I went to the International Drivers Association website, where the entire process was very easy to follow. I was happy to receive my permit within 15 minutes! I highly recommend this service.
