If you dont have a photo ID licence Id advise getting one you may have problems renting a car with only a paper licence. The document is about the same size as a standard passport and is essentially a multiple language usually English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, German, Arabic, Italian.

Model Security Program Msp. Many of the official rules above seem to be ignored in many countries. If youre using a local car rental company, my suggestion would be to ask them whether you really need an IDP. If you use one of the big multinationals or a brokers site, unless you manage to get the email address of the actual supplier, its unlikely youll be able to find this out. In my experience, given the low cost of an IDP its generally wise to obtain one before you travel if you dont speak the language or if youre visiting a country where youre likely to be stopped often by the policearmy Eastern EuropeAfricaAsia.
