What is the difference between an International Driving Permit (IDP) and an International Driver’s License (IDL)?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a small grey booklet, slightly larger than a passport, containing a translation of your original driving license in 10 languages, including English, French, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. It is legally recognized by 141 countries worldwide and is valid for one year when issued by IDPA.
By contrast, an International Driving License (IDL) is not a legal document and cannot be used to drive in foreign countries or as a substitute for a valid international driving license such as an IDP.
How does an International Driving Permit (IDP) work in South Africa?
In South Africa, foreigners can drive vehicles based on their local driver’s license if the license is issued in English. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your local license is issued in any language other than English. Travelers who choose to apply now for IDP online through IDPA can avoid issues with police stops and administrative procedures.
Even if your local license is already in English, carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. International agreements legally support an IDP, so local police and traffic authorities are required to accept a valid international driving license.
What Do You Need To Apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in South Africa?
Applying for an International Driving Permit (IDP) through IDPA is fast and straightforward. You will need:
- A copy of your identification document (national ID card or passport)
- Information related to your local driving license
- Scanned image of your domestic driving license
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Payment for a one-year validity IDP
To avoid delays, tourists are encouraged to apply now for IDP online before traveling.
Übereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über den Straßenverkehr
South Africa is a contracting party to the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968). Under these agreements, contracting states must accept a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by recognized organizations such as IDPA.
Key provisions include:
- Issuing proper theoretical and practical driver licensing tests
- Recognizing a valid international driving license
- Allowing foreigners to drive if they hold a legal International Driving Permit (IDP)
