IDP or International Driving Permit is a translation of your National Driving License into different languages. Translation is necessary for the correct understanding of your documents by traffic police officers in different countries. This document allows you to drive a car abroad and is issued in the form of a book with personal data and a photograph of the driver.
The standard for issuing an IDP is specified in the Vienna and Geneva UN Conventions "On Road Traffic".
To obtain an IDP, you do not need to pass any additional exams.
Since the IDP only contains a translation of the information available in your national driver's license, it is obligatory for you to have a valid national driver's license.
List of documents for obtaining an IDP:
Photo of the national driver's license (both sides)
Photo of the passport
Photo of the driver
Completed application form
The owner must sign the ready-made document on the last page in the "Signature" paragraph, under the driver's photo.

The IDPs issued by the IFA are a translation of the national driving license and can only be used if you have a valid national driving license. The IFA is not a government organization and the IDPs issued are not a document issued by a government agency. This document simplifies interactions with traffic police officers and car rental companies.
