Information which might help

[edit]


Remember that you must bring along your driving license issued in Chile during your trip abroad. The international driving permit is only a translation of your local driving license, you must be able to present both at all times.




Other uses of the Document/Certificate

[edit]

The IDP authenticates the validity of your local driving license. To the road transport authorities in other countries, the IDP proves your status as a tourist without showing your passport.

You may be required to present your IDP in case you encounter a traffic problem, either infractions or accidents while abroad. Your insurance company may also request for your IDP to cover vehicle damage in case of accidents abroad.
