What is the right description of category to specify in the application form?

license. See a detail of every single category, please

What are the benefits of having this document?
The International Driver Document is intended
to overcome the difficulties you might have while driving
a vehicle in another country that may have a different language
than your own. 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 the police. This document establishes
the right for a person to drive in another country when
accompanied by an original and valid driver's license. Another
advantage is that no test is required because it is a translation
of your original driver's license, printed in 9 languages:
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Arabic,
Japanese and Chinese.
Can you ship the license to PO BOX addresses?
No. Unfortunately, DHL and FEDEX are not
using this type of address as valid to send the document.
The customer needs to provide us a regular address
so that he/she can receive our international license.
Can the shipping estimate time vary?
Yes. According to certain restrictions imposed by the
American customs regarding some countries in Africa,
Middle East and Asia, in some cases, the international
license could take a little longer to arrive.
Will my full name appear on my international license?
The name that will appear on your international license
will be the exact full name that is shown on your
national valid license. Our document is
an accurate translation of your license in 9 languages.
Do Colombian licenses expire?
No. According to chapter number 2, paragraph number 22 from the Colombian national traffic regulations, the driver’s licenses have indefinite validity.
Why does the date of birth not appear in the document?
The statute 877.18 of the Florida State law certifies that the date of birth cannot appear in a non-governmental document without a previous legal authorization and in the presence of the customer with his driver license. Since we mainly provide this document on the Internet, we cannot meet these requirements. Therefore, our company is forced to issue it without the date of birth.
