Important Requirements:

• English Language: If your driver’s license is not printed in English, you must carry an official International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official English translation obtained from your embassy or consulate.

• Original Documents: You must always have your original, valid foreign driver’s license (and IDP/translation, if applicable) with you when driving.

• Staying Longer than 90 Days: If you intend to stay and continue driving in the Philippines beyond the 90-day period, you are required to obtain a Philippine Driver’s License from the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Note: While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is a helpful translation tool, it does not serve as a substitute for your primary driver’s license. Always carry both documents together.
