I am planning a trip to Japan at the end of December.

The rental has been booked! All you need is an international driver’s license!

 

Let’s find out how to issue an international driver’s license.

국제면허증 발급방법

An international driver’s license can be issued at driver’s license test centers or police stations nationwide.

It is not a plastic card, but can be issued immediately.

Time required is about 10 minutes

 

Also, if you apply for a passport at the ward office, it is possible at the same time.

 

What preparations are needed?

Passport (You don’t need a passport. You need it to check because of the name in English grammar.)

When you visit, you can fill out the documents for issuing an international driver’s license!

The most important thing is the English name.

If you write the wrong name with your passport, it will not be valid, so be sure to check your passport.

The cost of issuing an international driver’s license is 8,500 won.

 

It’s only valid for one year…

If necessary, re-issuance is required every year.

ㅠㅠ

I think it would be better if it was about 50,000 won and it would be valid for about 5 years…

 

Issued international driver’s license

 

The design… is a bit disappointing.

 

If it is a Class 1 driver’s license, the B grade stamp will be displayed.

 

Class A – two-wheeled vehicle (motorcycle motor license)

Class B – Capable of driving up to 9-seater cars and 3.5-ton trucks (1 type large, special, 1 type regular, 2 types normal)

Class C – same as above (class 1 large)

Class D – Passenger vehicles with 8 or more seats other than the driver’s seat, i.e. bus (class 1 large)

Class E – A vehicle that falls under the above and is connected to a vehicle other than a towed vehicle, that is, a wreck car (special type 1, large towing)

 

An international driver’s license can be issued for a 2-class auto, but you must drive only an automatic vehicle.
