Frequently
Asked Questions

What is an International Driver's License Translation (IDLT)?

It is an official translation so that a person can drive in the country they are visiting using their driver's license from their home country.

When is it used?

When a person travels abroad and needs to operate a motor vehicle in the country they are visiting.

What makes an IDLT official?

Approximately 200 countries signed the "Agreement on Vehicle Traffic, Roads and Safety]through conventions held in 1923, 1942, 1943, and 1968 in Vienna, Austria. These conventions were directed by the UN (United Nations), which established the regulations for the International Driving Document.

How is it used?

The IDLT is a translation of the original license and must always be accompanied by the person's original license, as it demonstrates that the person is qualified to operate a motor vehicle. However, the person using an IDLT is fully responsible for being aware of the traffic laws of the country they are visiting. A person whose original driver's license has been revoked or suspended cannot use the IDLT as a substitute for their original license.

Where can it be used?

In more than 200 signatory countries and UN members, including the USA, Mexico, France, Canada, Germany, etc.
