why do you need international driver licence?

it only allows you to drive in foreign country for short-time; less than 3months.

Nigeria driver licence is valid for 6months in many countries afterwhich you may need to change to that country own licence.

As an immigrant you will need a Nigeria drivers license accompanied with international drivers license to drive anywhere in the world.

The cost of obtaining one is far far less than 5k.

100% false.

in the country of your residency all you need is Nigerian driver licence unless you also going to third country.

if a nigerian migrated to canada, he can drive with Nigeria-drive-licence for 6months but if within 6month wants to visit German and drive, he need international driver licence.

if you plan to rent a car; you need international driver licence or licence of your resident country.

All I can say is make sure its valid and usefull for where/country you're going to! Its has list of countries you can use it behind it. If u take that thing go countries where they no vallue am, they might think its for riding Donkeys! Good luck.

it is international driver permit/licence! so accepted every where in the world

On September 19, 1949, the United Nations established the International Driver's License to allow motorists to travel in foreign countries. Language barriers create difficulties for both motorists and police. This document establishes the right for a person to drive in another country.

The International Drivers License also indicates that you are a holder of a valid drivers license from your country, fulfiling the right for a person to drive in another country when accompanied by an original and valid driver's license.

NO
Re: International Drivers Licence by sayhi2ay(m): 7:42pm On Apr 18, 2008
you will get the license at the police station beside immigration office in ikoyi, have forgotten the name,

you need your naija license, 2 passport photo and 5k, then it will be ready in 2 hours if you can put some extra change to settle,


why you might need the naija license when you travel out is, if you wanna get a license in the country you traveled to, you might not need to take driving test if you show your international license and naija license, so fro example in the US, you just have to take the exam, and wont take the road test

What Is International Driving Permit?
An IDP is a document that allows an individual to drive a private vehicle in another country; it is slightly larger than a standard passport and it is complete with one’s photographs and other statistical data.

Where can I obtain IDP?
Before you can obtain a valid IDP in Nigeria you MUST also have your local driving license issued by the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) first before you can get your International Permit.

How long does it take?
The International Driving Permit takes 2 to 3 working days

What are the requirements?
Photocopy of International Passport
Photocopy of National Driving license
2 Passport photo

How long does it takes before it expire?
You can request for an International Driving license in Nigeria that is for one year to three years, you will have to pay more if you want to have the expiration longer than a year.
One year License
Two year License
Three year License

Which country can I Use the IDP?
The IDP is recognized in Maryland, Washington DC and California in the U.S. as well as Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Austria and Sweden in Europe.
