3. Information about an IDP in (your country)

The Netherlands signed the convention of Geneva and the convention of Vienna, and it is only a legal requirement for visitors to have a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) if the concerned categories of the national driving permit don’t comply with the categories according to the Vienna Convention. Car rental companies use to request an IDP if other symbols than Latin language is used (eg. Chinese , Cyrillic). These visitors who plan to drive in the Netherlands must make sure they obtain an IDP in their home country or country of residence before they travel.

The IDP, which is valid for 1 year (Geneva convention) or 3 years (Vienna Convention), proves that you hold a valid driver’s license in your country of residence. The IDP is recognized all over the world and is available in 10 different languages in order to help overcome language barriers.

Similarly, Netherlands’ nationals and residents who wish to drive outside of Europe, need to apply for an IDP via ANWB.
