How One IDP Works for Multiple Countries
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an official translation of your home driving licence into 12 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, and Greek.
The IDP is recognized worldwide under two major international agreements: the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Together, these conventions cover over 150 signatory nations, meaning a single IDP issued by Permio is legally valid across all of them.
When you arrive at a car rental desk or encounter a police checkpoint abroad, your IDP serves as a universally understood proof that you hold a valid driving licence in your home country. There is no need to obtain separate permits for each destination — one document, one application, every country covered.
- Translates your licence details into 12 official languages
- Recognized by all Vienna and Geneva Convention signatory countries
- Accepted at rental desks, police checkpoints, and border crossings
- Valid for 1 or 3 years depending on your chosen plan
- Must be carried alongside your original home driving licence

Multi-Country IDP Questions
Yes. A single International Driving Permit issued by Permio is valid in over 150 countries worldwide. You do not need to apply for separate permits for each destination. The IDP translates your licence into 12 languages and is recognized under both the Vienna and Geneva Conventions on Road Traffic.
No. One IDP covers all signatory countries of the Vienna and Geneva Conventions. Whether you are driving through 2 countries or 20, a single Permio IDP is all you need. Just carry it alongside your original home driving licence.
For trips covering 1 to 3 countries, the 1-Year Plan at $39 offers great value. If you are visiting 4 or more countries, or plan to travel frequently, the 3-Year Pass at $89 saves you significantly compared to renewing annually. It covers unlimited countries for the full validity period.
Your IDP covers all of them. There is no limit to the number of countries you can drive in with a single IDP, as long as it remains within its validity period. Many of our travelers drive through 10 or more countries on extended road trips across Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
