In Europe, entry with National Identification Cards is allowed.
You can enter Europe with a license in the form of a plastic card (pink, yellow and blue). Old identity cards in the form of a booklet won’t allow you to travel abroad.
Certificates are valid not only in countries that have signed the Vienna Convention, but also in those that have signed the Geneva Convention. However, they must also have international rights, which are issued in the service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in addition to the usual plastic card.
In Andorra, you can drive with a national and International License.
It is strictly forbidden to drive a car with an expired driver's license.
If you are caught driving with your license expired in Andorra, you will be charged with violating Section 2 of the Traffic Act.
IDP is just a translation of your local driver's license. Therefore, it isn’t a suitable replacement for your expired driver's license.
The IDP must include your name, address, driver's license number, class or type of Vehicle, Verification date, image, and other important information contained in your driver's license.
You can renew your international driver's license online at the International Drivers' Association by following the same process when applying for an MVP. Do this and experience a continuous journey through the amazing country of Andorra.
Why do I need an MVP?
IDP helps ensure your trip abroad.
The International Drivers Permit (IDP) helps you travel abroad using your own valid driver's license. This is often required by car rental companies and is often required by traffic authorities if you present your foreign driver's license.
IDP translates your driver's license into a language that your destination country understands. It was designed to be easy to use and understandable for both English and non-English speakers. However, it isn’t an official identity document and can’t be used as a substitute for a driver's license.
The International Drivers' Association uses the standard format of the Geneva Convention on road traffic of 1949 year, which is adopted in more than 150 countries.
In some cases, an IDP isn’t required, because your destination country can itself recognize your driver's license as valid. The best way to confirm whether an MVP is required is to contact the traffic authorities of your destination country.
