Driving in Armenia with a foreign licence
Bring an IDP
Rental desks and local authorities in Armenia commonly ask foreign drivers to carry an IDP alongside their national licence. Armenia drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention and uses its own script, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence.
