It depends on the licence you hold — Bhutan accepts some foreign licences directly while others require an International Driving Permit (IDP). Confirm the rule for your specific licence country before you travel. A translation on its own is not accepted in place of the IDP, so the permit itself is what you must carry.
| IDP status | Depends on your licence |
|---|---|
| Convention | no specific convention |
| Translation accepted instead | No — carry the IDP itself |

Requirements vary by country. Carry your translation together with your original driving licence and passport; some countries require an official IDP issued by an authorised body in your country of licence. Information provided is general guidance. Always check local regulations for your destination.
