If you’re planning to drive in Singapore, possessing an International Driving Permit (IDP) is crucial, especially if your foreign driver’s license is not in English. The IDP serves as an official translation of your domestic license, facilitating communication with local authorities and car rental agencies. While Singapore recognizes the driving licenses of foreign visitors for up to 12 months, an IDP is mandatory if your license is in a language other than English. This requirement ensures that your driving credentials are easily understood, promoting road safety and compliance with local laws.
Obtaining an IDP in Singapore is a straightforward process. To apply, you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid Singaporean driving license. The Automobile Association of Singapore (AAS) is the authorized body for issuing IDPs. You can apply in person at their office or online through their official website. Required documents typically include a copy of your Singaporean driving license, a passport-sized photograph, and proof of identity. The IDP is valid for one year from the date of issue and must be carried alongside your Singaporean driving license when driving abroad.
