• You have not passed your driving test and have a learner permit (or provisional driving licence)
• Your driving licence is due to expire within 6 months
• You are from outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The European Economic Area consists of the 25 member states of the EU and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

An international driving permit is a special driving licence that allows motorists to drive vehicles in other countries without further tests or applications. If you have an international driving permit, this proves that you have a valid driving permit issued by a competent authority in your home country. If you are travelling abroad and wish to drive in another country, you will very likely require an international driving permit. International driving permits issued in Ireland are only available to Irish residents with a current full driving licence.

There are two types of international driving permit issued in Ireland:

• A 1949 Convention International Driving Permit, which is the most commonly issued driving permit and is recognised in most countries
• A 1926 Convention International Driving Permit, which is required for the following countries - Brazil, Iraq, Nigeria and Somalia.

• You can use your international driving permit in any of the countries that have signed the 1926 or 1949 UN Convention on road traffic. The list of countries that recognise international permits is not available online. Contact AA Travel for more information.
• Many other countries that are not signatories to the 1949 convention recognise the international driving permit and accept it in their territory. Contact your embassy or consulate in advance of travel to check whether or not an international driving permit is required in the country you will be visiting.
