What is the International Driver’s Document?

Our IDD is ideal for travelers visiting multilingual destinations. No test required and the IDD is valid for up to three years. This document is used in conjunction with, but does not replace, your valid national license. It is an unofficial translation of your Driver’s License in two formats: A Translation Card, translating your permit in 16 languages, and a Translation Booklet, translating your Driver’s License in 9 languages. As a complementary feature, our advanced translation card saves a digital copy of your valid Driving Permit in your Smartphone. Our International Driver’s Document is commonly known as the International Driver’s License or the International Driving Permit.
