It depends on bilateral agreements and treaties between the countrywhere you are resident and the country, or countries, where you plan to drive.Thereare numerous bilateral agreements and treaties that regulate IDP requirements,and these agreements and treaties change frequently. Holding an IDP is a veryeasy way to legally drive abroad, and that gives you the peace of mind ofabiding by enforced law and international regulations. Therefore, even incountries where you are not required to hold an IDP, it is highly recommendedin order to avoid any type of inconvenience.AnIDP never substitutes your valid domestic driver license.IDPsare not valid for driving in your country of residence, where you need to holda valid domestic driving license.
