Travel, Wine & Shoes

What do you do if you want to drive in another country?  Is your driver’s license that you have valid in a different country?

To do so, you should be in possession of an International Driving Permit (IDP).  Check with your country’s travel site.

• For Canada see:  Government of Canada International Driving Permit
• Within Alberta, AMA is the exclusive provider to members and non-members:  AMA IDP
• The IDP is valid for 1 year
• You Will Need:
  • 2 passport sized photos
  • Complete the CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT APPLICATION FORM
  • $30 Fee

 

Personally, I’ve had an International Driving Permit twice.  Both times I travelled within the UK and did not need to show it, but used my Alberta driver’s license instead.  Better safe than sorry!  Get your IDP if you’re planning on driving.
