Vietnam has temporarily stopped issuing international driving permits (IDPs) online until June as part of a system upgrade. Previously, drivers could easily obtain IDPs through an online portal managed by the Ministry of Transport for a fee of VND135,000 (US$5.26).

 

The administrative changes in March transferred the service to the Ministry of Public Security, leading to the closure of the old portal. Currently, the new online portal, managed by the traffic police department, only processes domestic driving licenses.

 

 

 

The Ministry of Public Security is aiming to resume online IDP services by June. In the meantime, those requiring an international driving permit must apply in person at designated traffic police offices located in cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Tay Ninh, Nghe An, Dong Nai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and Thanh Hoa.

 

IDPs enable holders to legally drive in 86 countries under the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, mostly across Asia and Europe. They are essential for those planning to travel abroad by car, reported VN Express.
