Do I need an International Driving Permit?

Whether you need an International Driving Permit in Dubai depends on where your license was issued. Send us a photo and we'll confirm in minutes.

It depends on which country issued your license.

The UAE accepts licenses from a number of countries directly. Licenses issued elsewhere need an IDP alongside the original — an IDP on its own is never enough, it's always presented with your home license.

Rather than guess, send us a photo of your license on WhatsApp and we'll confirm within minutes whether you need one. It takes us a moment and saves you a problem at handover.
