Common questions
Is this an International Driving Permit?
No. An International Driving Permit is a specific document issued only by authorized bodies in the country that issued your license. We provide a private translation of your license. If your destination requires an IDP, you need to get one from your home country's authorized issuer.
Is this a driver's license or permit to drive?
No. It is a translation only and is valid only alongside your original license.
Are you a government agency or affiliated with one?
No. We are a private company and are not affiliated with any government, motoring association or licensing authority.
Will a rental company or police officer accept it?
Acceptance is up to them. Many rental desks just need to read your license, and a clear translation helps. Check your rental company's terms and your destination's official rules before you travel.
