Refund and Cancellation Policy
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, is not issued by any government, is 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.
1. Digital IDPA — Non-Refundable Once Delivered
Once your digital IDPA Driver’s License Translation has been delivered to your designated email address, it is non-refundable. If you did not receive your digital document due to an email typo or spam filter, this is handled as a free replacement case under Section 4.
Refunds on delivered digital IDPA files remain available only where:
- The document contains errors or non-conformities caused by our team (Section 2);
- Your IDPA is rejected by a qualifying authority and meets the Rejection Guarantee conditions (Section 3); or
- Mandatory statutory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction mandate withdrawal rights (Section 9).
1.1 Upgraded Orders
If you upgrade an order from Digital Only to Print + Digital after checkout, your order is treated as a single Print + Digital transaction. The refund terms for physical products then govern the entire order.
2. Defective or Non-Conforming Documents
If your IDPA contains errors on our part (e.g., misspelled name, incorrect vehicle classes, missing translation languages), we will correct and reissue it free of charge:
- Digital Only: Corrected and re-sent via email within 1 business day.
- Print + Digital: Reprint dispatched within 1–3 business days via Standard Shipping (15–30 days). If express courier delivery is requested, a $34 carrier fee applies.
If we cannot correct the defect within these timeframes, you are entitled to a full refund.
3. Rejection Guarantee
If your IDPA is rejected by a car rental company or traffic authority in a contracting state of the 1949 Geneva or 1968 Vienna Road Traffic Conventions, and you provide official verifiable documentation (such as a rejection letter or official email), we will issue a full refund.
Exclusions: The Rejection Guarantee does not apply if requested more than 30 days after delivery, if verification documents are withheld, or if the rejection occurred in a region/provider explicitly flagged with a non-acceptance warning during checkout (e.g., specific rental restrictions in Japan, China, or South Korea).
4. Replacement Guarantee
We replace IDPA documents free of charge during the validity term for:
- Lost Digital Files: Resent immediately upon request.
- Transit Damage or Loss: Physical printed items damaged or lost in transit are reprinted and reshipped via Standard Shipping for free (Express Shipping optional for $34).
- Paid Replacement Cases: If delivery fails due to an incorrect shipping address provided by the customer, failure to pick up the package, or unpaid local customs duties, a $20 reprint fee plus shipping costs ($19 standard / $34 express) applies.
5. Physical Booklet and Card Cancellations
- Digital-Only Orders: Non-refundable once emailed.
- Print + Digital Orders: You may request cancellation/return of physical items within 14 days of receipt. The refund will be calculated minus the $20 production fee and initial shipping costs. Returned items must be sent back in reasonable condition.
6. Shipping-Delay Cancellation
If production or shipping is delayed due to our operational issues and you decline a revised dispatch date, you may cancel the physical portion of your order for a full refund of the physical upgrade fee. Delays caused by customer non-responsiveness to verification emails are excluded.
7. Non-Refundable Scenarios
No refunds are granted in the following cases:
- Archived Verification Cases: If an order remains unfulfilled because a customer fails to submit required license photos within 14 days of our outreach, the order is archived.
- Disclosed Exclusions: Rejections in jurisdictions explicitly disclosed as non-accepting at checkout.
- Customer Delivery Errors: Failed physical delivery caused by incorrect entry of shipping details, refusal of delivery, or failure to clear local customs.
8. Document Invalidation Upon Refund
Upon issuance of any refund or initiation of a chargeback, your IDPA document is immediately invalidated across our digital verification database:
- The embedded QR code will instantly show “Document Invalid / Revoked” when scanned by border control, rental agents, or authorities.
- Using or presenting an invalidated translation document is unauthorized and may constitute misrepresentation under local law.
9. Preservation of Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your non-waivable statutory consumer rights under applicable local laws, including:
- EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) & Digital Content Directive (2019/770)
- UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 & Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
- Australian Consumer Law (ACL)
- Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor)
- Canadian Provincial Consumer Protection Acts
- UAE & KSA Consumer Protection Laws
Where mandatory local legislation grants broader cancellation or refund rights, those statutory rules take precedence.
10. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Please contact support at hello@e-iaa.com before contacting your bank. Most issues can be resolved within 1 business day.
If a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, we submit order logs, verification proofs, delivery records, and accepted checkout terms to Stripe and financial networks. Initiating a dispute automatically revokes and invalidates the associated IDPA verification status.
