Be confident that the permit issued by the AAA is the only document accepted abroad.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a translation of your domestic Australian drivers licence photo card in nine (9) languages that assists a user to drive in a foreign country. The AAA is the only authorised distributor of IDPs in Australia for Australian drivers licence holders.
Permits are recognised in 98% of countries around the world and driving abroad without a permit could be illegal.
Be confident that the permit issued by the AAA is the only document accepted abroad.
Drive abroad for an entire year
Our online application process is quick and easy, it only takes 10 minutes to apply.
Your Permit will be dispatched within 3 business days in metropolitan areas. Please allow longer for public holidays and regional or international delivery.
We offer delivery to anywhere in Australia or the world.
Our low-cost permit is an affordable way to comply with local driving laws abroad.
Here’s what you will need to apply for a Permit.
1. Recent passport style photo*
2. Photo of front and back of a valid drivers licence photo card
3. Credit card for payment
Every country has it’s own rules about whether a Permit is legally required. The directory below can provide guidance for countries requiring a permit but applicants should contact the embassy or consulate of the intended country to visit to confirm the status of the permit. An IDP may be a cost effective way to reduce any doubt.

It contains a translation of your current domestic driver’s licence photo card into most major languages and assists to interpret the categories of your driver’s license for international law enforcement, customs, and hire car companies.
The Australian Government selected the following nine (9) languages – English, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Greek, German and Japanese.
Most car rentals require a Permit before you can collect your rental car as proof of a valid licence to drive the vehicle. In some cases your rental may be refused without a permit.
In the event of an accident it is important to carry your Permit and drivers licence photo card to establish your validity to drive. Some insurers may not honor the claim without a permit.
Some insurance companies may not honour your travel insurance policy if you did not have a Permit while driving in a country that required it.
The AAA is the only authorised issuer of IDPs in Australia.
Robust privacy policies and protocols to handle your sensitive data.
Secure online payment gateway to protect your financial information.
In-person and online purchasing options at Australian state and territory motoring clubs.
Currently you can apply for an IDP online. An IDP costs $51 AUD plus postage and can take up to 3-5 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 bring your valid passport photo and current drivers licence photo card with you.
