How to get your IDP as a Indonesian driver
You don't need to visit an office. Get your International Driving Permit online with International DL in minutes — we translate your licence into the languages the road-traffic conventions call for and issue your IDP digitally, ready before you fly.
Those languages come from the two United Nations road-traffic conventions — the 1949 Geneva Convention and the 1968 Vienna Convention. Which one applies depends on where you are driving: every destination page lists the convention that country has signed.

Common questions from Indonesian drivers
Do Indonesian drivers need an International Driving Permit?
As a Indonesian licence holder, your national driving licence is issued in the Latin alphabet, which helps abroad — but most countries still expect an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it, and car-rental agencies frequently require one. An IDP is an official translation of your national licence and never replaces it, so carry your licence, your passport and your IDP together.
Is my Indonesia driver's licence valid abroad?
Your Indonesia licence stays valid at home. Abroad it is accepted together with an IDP, which translates it into the official UN-convention languages recognised by local police and rental agencies.
How do Indonesian citizens get an IDP?
You can get a digital International Driving Permit online from International DL in minutes — apply, upload a photo of your licence, and we issue it without a trip to an office.
How long is an International Driving Permit valid?
An IDP is valid for 1–3 years from the date of issue depending on the plan you choose, and only while your national licence remains valid.
