The International Driving Permit is a translation of the national driving license and is therefore only valid in conjunction with it. It is recommended for travel outside Europe. You can inquire about the countries where an International Driving Permit is required through automobile clubs, travel agencies, or the respective embassy.

The International Driving Permit can be applied for in person or through an authorized representative as part of an appointment at the driving license authority, or alternatively by mail. A primary residence in the Oberberg district is required.

Please note that shipping by mail is carried out exclusively by simple letter and at your own risk. In case of loss, any resulting costs must be borne by you.
