Which IDP will I need?
There are three types of IDPs available, though only two are used in EU states and European Economic Area countries.
- 1949 IDP: Might be needed if you are travelling to Malta with a paper license or a driving license from Guernsey or the Isle of Man. Needed for visits longer than 30 days in Cyprus and visits of any length if you hold a paper license or a driving license from Gibraltar, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man. The 1949 convention IDP is valid for 12 months.
- 1968 IDP: If you are travelling to all other EU states, you may require a 1968 IDP. It also might be needed for trips to Norway if you hold a paper license. The 1968 convention IDP is valid for three years, or for however long your driving license is valid if that date is earlier.
- 1926 IDP: A 1926 IDP is not required in any EU state. However, it is required if you plan to drive in Mexico or Somalia.
Where can I get an IDP?
From 1st February 2019 the Post Office became the sole issuer of IDPs. To find out which branches can issue IDPs use the Post Office website . The RAC does not issue IDPs. You can apply for all three types of IDP (1949, 1968 and 1926) at 2,500 Post Offices across the UK.
