How the International Driver's License works

Drive Internationally with Confidence

The International Driving Permit from IDL Services Inc. allows you to legally drive in over 180 countries, helping you overcome language barriers and roadblocks while traveling.

Our advanced, non-governmental ID card offers translations in up to 16 languages, including Thai, Turkish, Korean, Hindi, Greek, Italian, and Dutch. Featuring a security hologram on the front, it’s designed to prevent counterfeiting and increase durability.

Save a digital copy of your driver’s license right on your phone! Use the QR code printed on the back of your card to access your documents on the go.

Your license comes with a high-quality booklet that translates your driver’s license into 9 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, French, and German.

⚠️ Important: According to the 1968 United Nations Convention on Road Traffic (see Page 63), international documents are only valid for up to 3 years. Be cautious with websites offering longer validity – they are not compliant.

Our permits are 100% compliant with UN agreements and U.S. state regulations.

Simple Requirements – No Test Needed

All you need is a valid driver’s license from your country. This is not a replacement or official license – it’s a certified translation. Just fill out a short form and upload:

• A photo of your valid driver's license (front and back)
• A passport-style photo of yourself

Uploads can be done easily from your smartphone or desktop.
