Hi All, not sure if this has been covered, but can i get an international drivers licence in PP ? i dont have a local licence, and my licence from my home country has been expired for some years already, and as i dont own anything in my home country, ( need something with my name on it ) they wont renew it there. thanks for any advice.

Technically it's called an international driving permit - not a license. An IDP is basically just a translation of your existing drivers license, so in order to get an IDP you first need to have a valid drivers license.

Sophon

as above PERMIT not license

NO, you cant

Thanks guys, i will just get the local first then.

Lucky Moto on Monivong near St 182 or 183 (forget which) can help re Cambodian license

yes lucky lucky can help IF you have a VALID license

but urs is expired,

Good luck, you might need to do a drivers ed course

how long does it take for one of these places to issue you with a local license? Do you still get to keep your orriginal home country license? Or do they take it off you?

Only a few days to a week max in Cambodia and no, you do not have to give up your home country license.

note its rather expensive

last i heard it runs about $35 for 1 year

now compare that to Thailand where u get 5 years for around $15 ( or in my case i got 1 day short of 6 years)

even the states is $35 for 5 years

All part of a greater scheme to try and get a cambo insurance company to insure my Thai car in December.

So may be worth it, though much more likely to be a stonking waste of money.

good luck;

i have heard of ONLY 1 person that bothered dong it right an it took him 3 months to get all the right permissions/documents

and he did get insurance finally

repairs are half the price of Thailand :-)

I am a sucker for punishment....

Let me know where I can read about that one person.....

hi all, just a follow up, i went to lucky moto and they can help, even though my home country license has been expired for a long time, over 5 years. well when i say help , it can be done , but at a cost of course, if home license was still valid, then 55 USD, for expired license add another 100 USD, and im good to go . i dont need an international permit for driving in my home state in OZ, as long as the license i have has english writing, so all good .

An IDP can only be issued by the authority in the country where you are licensed. Nowhere else. Of course, if you have, for example, a Thai license, Thailand's DLT will sell you an IDP. Last time for me it was 500 baht. One-year expiry.
