Disclaimer
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Our IDPA Driver's License Translation is a certified translation of your valid domestic driver's license, formatted in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. It is not an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by a government or motoring association, not issued by any government, not authorized or endorsed by the United Nations, and does not replace your original driver's license. You must always carry and present your original domestic driver's license together with the IDPA — the IDPA is valid only when shown alongside your domestic license. Acceptance by foreign authorities, vehicle rental companies, or law enforcement is at their sole discretion. This company is not affiliated with any government agency, motoring organization, or private association — including but not limited to AAA (American Automobile Association), CAA (Canadian Automobile Association), AAS (Automobile Association of Singapore), and ATA (American Translators Association). Similarity in name is coincidental.
This Disclaimer applies to all content on internationaldrivingpermitagency.com and to the IDPA Driver's License Translation offered by International Driving Permit Agency (IDPA), operated by its mother company International Automobile Agency (https://e-iaa.com/). Please read it carefully; it is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service and is binding on every visitor and customer.
1. About International Driving Permit Agency (IDPA)
International Driving Permit Agency (IDPA) is a brand owned and operated by its mother company International Automobile Agency, a private entity producing a linguistic translation of your domestic driver's license. We are not a government body, not a motoring association, and not affiliated with any such organization. The name "International Driving Permit Agency" is a commercial trading name that does not imply any government authorization or endorsement.
2. The IDPA is not an International Driving Permit (IDP)
The IDPA is not an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by a government or motoring association.
In the United States, the only organizations designated to issue IDPs under the 1949 Geneva Convention are the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). We are neither of them, and we have no affiliation with either.
Equivalent government-designated issuers exist in other countries (for example, CAA in Canada or AAS in Singapore). We are not affiliated with any of them.
Any similarity in name between IDPA, International Driving Permit Agency, and AAA, CAA, AAS, ATA, or any other organization is coincidental.
3. The IDPA is not issued by any government
The IDPA is not a government-issued document.
The IDPA is not authorized, endorsed, or co-issued by the United Nations, UNECE, any national road-safety authority, or any motoring association.
4. The IDPA does not replace your domestic driver's license
You must always carry and present your valid domestic driver's license together with the IDPA.
The IDPA is valid only when shown alongside your original driver's license; it is not a standalone driving credential.
5. Acceptance is at third-party discretion
Acceptance of the IDPA by foreign authorities, vehicle rental companies, or law-enforcement officers is at their sole discretion.
We do not guarantee acceptance of the IDPA in any specific country, region, or transaction.
We are not liable for any fine, penalty, denial of service, denial of rental, or any other consequence imposed by any third party following the presentation of an IDPA. This limitation is subject to Section 8 below and to any non-waivable consumer-protection law.
6. Country-acceptance scope
The IDPA is formatted in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Where our website references the Conventions' contracting-states list, acceptance remains at the discretion of the accepting authority. For country-specific notes — including known rental-company rejection issues in certain jurisdictions — please see our Country Acceptance Disclaimer.
7. Pre-checkout acknowledgement
At checkout, you are required to tick an acknowledgement confirming you have read this Disclaimer and understand that the IDPA is a certified translation of your valid driver's license, is not an International Driving Permit, and is not issued by any government or motoring association. This acknowledgement is binding.
8. No warranty; limitation preserved
Except for the express guarantees set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy (the Rejection Guarantee and the Replacement Guarantee) and any non-excludable consumer guarantees, the IDPA and website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Translation and localization
Our website may be translated or auto-translated into other languages. In case of discrepancy between the English version and a translated version, the English version governs.
