Sofia Lindqvist

Sofia fact-checks and reviews the guides before they publish. Her focus is accuracy under the UN road-traffic conventions: that every page states the correct convention format for its destination, the correct validity (up to 1 year under the 1949 Geneva format, up to 3 years under the 1968 Vienna format), and the correct relationship between an International Driving Permit and the national driving licence it travels with.

She maintains the editorial standard that keeps this site deliberately free of the overclaims common in this industry — no 'UN approved' badges, no invented acceptance guarantees — because accurate pages are the ones travellers, rental desks and search engines can trust.

Sofia verifies non-English sources directly, including Scandinavian and German national authority guidance, and coordinates the translation review for our sixteen language editions.

Editorial method

• Reviews every new guide against the convention texts before publication.
• Flags and rewrites any claim that cannot be traced to a primary source.
• Owns the 'Last reviewed' programme — stale pages are queued for re-verification.
• Audits the localized editions so translated guidance matches the English source of truth.

The full standard — sourcing, review cadence and corrections — is published in our editorial policy.
