An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a translation of your current Australian Driver’s Licence in nine languages. Your IDP is proof that you hold a current domestic driver’s licence and it is only valid if you carry your domestic driver’s licence (note: digital drivers licences are not valid overseas) with your IDP. An IDP is a requirement for renting a motor vehicle in many countries. It is also helpful for tourists who find themselves in need of identification or assistance.
An IDP costs $42 AUD plus postage and can take up to 3-8 business days, to be processed and delivered in Australia. An IDP is valid for 12 months from the issue date (purchase date), unless your domestic drivers’ licence expires, is suspended, or revoked in the meantime. It is highly recommended travellers obtain a valid IDP prior to leaving Australia.
You can check to see if you will need an IDP using the search tool below.

Currently you can apply for an IDP online. An IDP costs $42 AUD plus postage and can take up to 3-8 business days, to be processed and delivered in Australia.
Please review and carefully consider the recommendations of the Australian Governments Smart Traveller website before placing an order for an IDP.
If you require an IDP urgently, you can also purchase one in person through the state and territory motoring clubs. Please ensure you have a completed application form, valid passport photo and current drivers licence with you.
IMPORTANT: The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) is the only authority duly authorised to sell IDPs in Australia on behalf of the Australian Government. The Australian Government is party to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic. An IDP from the AAA must have the AAA Logo and official stamp. Any IDP that is not issued by the AAA in Australia is fraudulent.
If you are travelling overseas and intend on driving it is recommended to have an IDP.
An IDP may be required for renting a motor vehicle in many countries and is helpful for tourists who find themselves in need of identification or assistance.
An IDP provides inexpensive additional security.
Note: An IDP issued by the AAA is only valid if you hold a current Australian Driver’s Licence. You may be asked to provide proof of travel and/or return dates to Australia, as an IDP is designed for touring purposes and anyone residing in another country for a lengthy period should apply for a licence in that country. If you hold a license from another country and wish to apply for an IDP, check the appropriate issuing body here.
To find an ATAS accredited travel agent visit Australian Federation of Travel Agents.
Counterfeit IDPs are being offered for sale on the internet, usually at inflated prices. These forged IDPs are illegal and can get the holder into a great deal of difficulty with the traffic authorities in various countries. In Australia only the Australian Automobile Association, through the State and Territory Motoring Clubs, is authorised to issue IDPs.
Overseas companies cannot provide driving permits to Australian licence holders. The following is a list of fraudulent websites selling unauthorised and unofficial IDPs.
– International Transportation Authority
– IDL Travel
– IDLID Services
– International Automobile Association Inc.
