How to Apply for an International Driving Permit?

[MacBeau]

To apply for an international driving permit, you first need to have your driver's license notarized at a local notary office, then translate it into English, and finally apply at the local police station. The following materials are required for the application: 1. A valid identity document such as a passport or travel permit, along with two copies. 2. A valid driver's license and two copies. 3. The "Driver's License Application Form," which can be downloaded and filled out in advance from the website. 4. Two recent one-inch frontal photos with a plain background and no hats or similar items on the head. 5. The "International Driving Permit Application Form." Residents of China's Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan regions can apply for an international driving permit, while mainland Chinese residents cannot because China has not joined the "United Nations Road Traffic Convention." Mainland residents can only apply for an English translation of their Chinese driver's license.
