Your way, on the highway.

Planning to drive overseas? You might need an IDP to rent a car, motorbike, minibus or go-kart.

So, what's an IDP? It proves you have a valid driver's licence in your home country and must be carried with your local licence.

Apply online or in-branch

Apply online - we'll process your IDP in 3-8 business days and mail it out to you.
