Moving Your Teaching Career Overseas - Driving

I'm sure you're addicted to your car and the convenience of driving everywhere. You shouldn't take for granted that you'll be able to drive legally where ever you end up moving to... or that you'll need to drive at all!

6. International Driver’s License

An international driver’s license is not a new license and doesn’t require you to take a driving test. It’s a document that you use abroad to make your national driver’s license acceptable to foreign officials. An international driver’s license is a little booklet that you hand over with your license when it’s requested.

An international driver's license is a translation of your license into a number of prominent world languages so that officials in other countries can figure out what vehicles your driver’s license permits you to drive.

Even if you don’t intend driving overseas, it’s a good document to have because you never know what the future holds.

Little known and harmless 'sneaky' trick: many tourist places will accept it as deposit ID so you can keep a hold of your passport!
