Need to drive overseas? We can help with an international drivers licence
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a tourist international drivers licence that allows you to drive overseas without needing more tests or applications. RAA are the only organisation in South Australia authorised to issue International Driving Permits.
Things you should know
Your International Driving Permit will be valid for 12 months.
The permit is a translation of your valid Australian driver’s licence into nine languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Greek, German and Japanese). It can be a handy form of ID when talking with foreign authorities.
Learn more
You must keep it on you at all times when driving overseas, along with your Australian licence.
You still need to familiarise yourself with the road rules of the countries you plan to drive in.
You can order your permit online anytime. Follow the steps at the permit website to order.
Please allow 3 to 8 working days for us to process your order and mail your printed permit to you. If you require your permit sooner, visit an RAA shop.
Only some countries require you to have an International Driving Permit. Before you buy a permit, we recommend you check the Australian Automobile Association's International Driving Permit Directory for the permit requirements for your destination.
