Details of the document.
IDD is based on the United Nations standards on Road Traffic.
On September 19, 1949, the first Road Traffic Agreement was created and the United Nations established an International Document to facilitate the travel of motorists in foreign countries where language barriers create difficulties for both, motorists and local officers. This document establishes the right for a person to drive in another country when accompanied by an original and valid driver’s license, translating your driving permit in 9 languages. You can see a copy of one of the UN Agreements with a click here or you can see a virtual animation of the document to visually understand the translation process.

How the translation works.
Your current domestic or national driving permit, plus the additional application form data provides us the necessary information to translate your driver’s license used in the IDD booklet and the non-government ID card. Your name, residence, kind of vehicles allowed to drive and more information is easily translated in the IDD booklet in 9 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese. The complementary card, translates this information into English in the front.  the PDF417 standard barcode in the back allows officer scanners all over the world easily read your personal details.

How to properly use the document.
- Driving as a tourist in any place of the world, you can present your current valid driver license, plus the International Driver Document (IDD Booklet plus the card) to facilitate the understanding of your permit to any local authority.
- This translation is valid for up to three years, but it can’t be used for more than a year in the same country, or once the driver establishes a residence there. If the driver lives or stays in a country, the motorist must apply for a local driving permit.
- Remember, the IDD is only a translation of a driver’s license and not a regular driver’s license. The IDD, without a currently valid driving permit is not a useful or valid document to present to any authority.

Details of benefits.
