If you plan to drive in Georgia, carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid home country driver’s license is essential. Georgian authorities and car rental agencies often require an IDP to verify that your license is genuine and that any translation (if needed) is accurate. Driving without it can lead to legal complications, difficulties in renting vehicles, or refusal by local traffic enforcement. The IDP acts as a universally recognized translation of your license and helps avoid misunderstandings relating to language differences. Always carry both the IDP and your original driver’s license whenever you travel in Georgia so you are fully compliant with local laws and rental policies, and to ensure peace of mind during your trip.
Obtaining an International Driving Permit for Georgia is simple and straightforward. First, make sure your current driver’s license is valid and not expired. Then fill out the IDP application form provided by the issuing body, supplying the required documents such as a copy of your driver’s license (front and back), a passport-style photo, and proof of identity. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed, and upon approval you’ll receive the IDP. Be sure to carry both the issued permit and your original license when driving. This process ensures that your driving credentials are recognized in Georgia and that you are legally permitted to operate vehicles throughout the country.
Yes. Even if your license is already in English or uses Latin letters, an IDP is still recommended in Georgia. While some agencies or checkpoints might accept your existing license, having an IDP ensures smoother verification and avoids any possible misinterpretation or delay.
The validity of the IDP corresponds to the term given by the issuing authority. During its validity period, the IDP must be used together with your original, valid driver’s license. The expiration of either document makes driving legally invalid.
The IDP allows you to drive vehicles for which you are licensed in your home country. It does not grant additional rights beyond your existing license class. If you hold a license for passenger cars, for example, you can use the IDP to drive passenger cars in Georgia—but not heavier or specialized vehicles unless your home license authorizes those.
Present both your original driver’s license and your IDP when asked. These documents together will establish your legal right to drive. It’s also wise to carry other identification (such as passport) and any vehicle rental papers if using a rented car, to avoid complications.
No. The IDP must be applied for from your home country before you travel. It cannot typically be issued by Georgian authorities to foreign residents/visitors. Planning ahead ensures you have the necessary documents in hand when you arrive.
