Where to get an International Driving Permit in Abkhazia?

Obtaining an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Abkhazia is straightforward if you hold a valid Abkhazia national driver's license. For those planning a visit to Abkhazia, it is advisable to contact the relevant authority in your home country to secure an IDP before departure. However, if you are already traveling and do not possess the IDP, you may opt to have your national driver's license translated online. This method offers a quicker, more convenient, and efficient way to ensure you can legally drive during your travels.

The International Driving Permit is a translation of the national driving license into many languages. The first ID cards appeared in 1926, after the Paris International Convention relative to Motor Traffic. The International Driving Permit was also influenced by two other conventions in 1949 and 1968. The International Driving Permit is the same as the International Driving License.

We remind you that the IDP works only with a valid national license.

How to get an International Driving Permit in Abkhazia?

According to the Vienna Convention of 1968, International Driving Permits (IDPs) are authorized to be issued by national governments or designated organizations. In most countries, this function is carried out by automobile associations affiliated with the AIT/FIA, the police, or other authorized entities. To obtain an International Driving Permit in Abkhazia, you must possess a local license and apply to the relevant authorities here (please notify us if the link is not working). The cost and processing time for an IDP vary by country.

If you hold a national license not issued in Abkhazia, you must verify if your license permits you to drive and if you require an IDP. If an IDP is necessary, the only option is to order a translation of your driver's license, available either via delivery or as an electronic version (confirm with the rental car company if an electronic version is acceptable), for example, through our services.

For U.S. citizens with only a U.S. driver's license, you can obtain an IDP from AAA, but it must be done before traveling to Abkhazia.!

Driving tips for Abkhazia:

An important point: a driver's license is withdrawn in case of violations of any traffic rule. You can get the license back only after paying a fine. However, it's not so easy thing to do. There are no terminals in the country, Russian bank cards are rarely accepted. Remember that the fine can be paid only in a district department of traffic police. After that, you can get your driver's license back.
  • Be careful! Traffic police can fine you for violation that you didn't commit. Thus they provoke you to pay a bribe. Tip: don't respond to provocations, keep calm. Defend your rights competently. Don't confront.
