How to get an International Driving License in Hungary?
The International Driving License 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 Driver's License was also influenced by two other conventions in 1949 and 1968. The International Driving Permit is the same as the International Driving License.
Getting an International Driver's License in Hungary while you are in Hungary if you have a valid Hungary national driver's license.
