Applying for an IDP for overseas driving
If you hold a valid Singapore Driving Licence and need an International Driving Permit (IDP) for driving while overseas, SPF directs you to apply through the Automobile Association of Singapore (AA Singapore) (SPF, Singapore Driving Licence).
SPF's page links directly to AA Singapore's International Driving Permit service. This article records SPF's direction; the application documents, fee, and processing time should be confirmed on AA Singapore before applying.
SPF's digital driving licence information says recognition of the Singapore Digital Driving Licence overseas depends on the country visited. SPF encourages people who intend to drive overseas to continue bringing their photocard driving licence and IDP when travelling (SPF, Singapore Driving Licence).

- SPF does not set out the AA application checklist, fee, or processing time on its cited licence page, so those service details are not reproduced here.
- This article does not establish which destinations accept an IDP or summarise their driving and vehicle rules. Check with the destination authority before travel.
