"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.

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"

Exploring Georgia by car is one of the best ways to discover its dramatic mountain roads, charming villages, and Black Sea coastlines. From Tbilisi’s lively streets to the high passes of the Caucasus, driving gives you flexibility and freedom—but only if you have the correct documents.
Georgia follows the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which means most travelers will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their home license. Without it, you risk problems with car rentals, police checkpoints, or even invalid insurance.
This guide explains Georgia’s IDP requirements, rental policies, and road rules—and how the International Drivers Association (IDA) can help you secure a valid, dual-convention IDP in as fast as 8 minutes.
Do You Need an IDP to Drive in Georgia?
It depends on the language of your home license:
| License Type | Tourist Stay (< 1 year) | Car Rental | IDP Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latin-script licenses (English, French, German, Spanish) | Valid up to 1 year | Often required | Strongly recommended |
| Non-Latin licenses (Arabic, Cyrillic, Asian scripts) | Not valid without IDP | Always required | Mandatory |
| Expired license | Not valid | Not accepted | Cannot obtain IDP |
👉 Bottom line: Even if the law allows you to drive with your license, most Georgian rental agencies require an IDP for insurance and liability purposes.
What Is an International Driving Permit (IDP)?
An IDP is an official, multilingual translation of your domestic driver’s license, recognized worldwide. Georgia accepts the 1968 format, but with IDA you’ll always receive dual-convention coverage (1968 + 1949)—giving you protection in 240+ countries, not just Georgia.
Key Features
- Grey booklet, slightly larger than a passport
- Includes your photo, license categories, and translations in 10–12 languages
- Valid for 1–3 years (but never longer than your home license
- Recognized by 99.8% of authorities and rental companies worldwide
⚠️ Warning: Do not buy “international licenses” from unauthorized websites. Only IDPs issued under the Geneva (1949) or Vienna (1968) Conventions are valid.
Legal Requirements for Foreign Drivers in Georgia
- Tourist Driving: Foreign licenses are valid for up to 1 year from your entry date.
- Language Rules:
Latin alphabet licenses (English, French, Spanish, German) are accepted.
- Non-Latin licenses require an IDP.
Car Rental Requirements in Georgia
Even when the law permits your license, rental companies may apply stricter conditions:
| Requirement | Georgian Law | Rental Companies |
|---|---|---|
| Latin-script license | Accepted | May still require IDP |
| Age limit | 18+ | Usually 21+ or 25+ |
| Credit card | Not required by law | Always required |
| Insurance | Mandatory by law | Often add extra coverage |
👉 Tip: Always confirm with your rental agency in advance.
