Application Steps
- Visit your chosen issuing agency: Either the International Automobile Federation or the Touring Club Tunisia association.
- Obtain and complete the application form. Provide all required personal and driving license details.
- Submit the following:
- Your completed application form
- Your original Tunisian driver’s license and its photocopy
- Your National Identity Card and its photocopy
- Two passport-sized photographs
- Application Fee
- Wait for processing: In most cases, your IDP will be issued on-site or within 24 hours.
Important Notes:
- Your physical presence is required for both submitting the application and collecting your IDP.
- The IDP is a translation of your Tunisian driver’s license and does not replace it. You must carry both your IDP and Tunisian license when driving in foreign countries.
- The IDP is recognized by many countries worldwide but always verify the requirements of the specific country you plan to visit.
Validity:
- An IDP obtained in Tunisia is generally valid for one year from the date of issue. If needed, it can be renewed, but the validity cannot exceed the expiration date of the domestic driving license.
Accepted Countries:
- Tunisia is a party to international conventions, such as the 1968 Vienna Convention and 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic. The IDP issued in Tunisia complies with the standards set by these conventions.
Driving License Requirement:
- Valid Tunisian Driver’s License: The most fundamental requirement is possessing a current and valid Tunisian driver’s license.
- Age: While the minimum age for obtaining a regular Tunisian driver’s license may vary depending on the vehicle type, the specific age requirement for applying for an IDP is not explicitly mentioned in the information provided. It’s best to directly contact the issuing agencies (International Automobile Federation or Touring Club Tunisia) to confirm if there’s a minimum age for IDP applications.
- Residency: It’s likely that you need to be a resident of Tunisia to apply for a Tunisian IDP.
Important Considerations:
- License Categories: Ensure that the category of vehicle you are licensed to drive in Tunisia aligns with the type of vehicle you plan to operate abroad. Your IDP will reflect your existing Tunisian license categories.
- Driving Restrictions: If your Tunisian driver’s license has any restrictions (e.g., requiring glasses), these will be reflected on your IDP.
