Driving in Uzbekistan with a foreign licence
Bring an IDP
Rental desks and local authorities in Uzbekistan commonly ask foreign drivers to carry an IDP alongside their national licence. Uzbekistan drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention; an IDP is advised to translate non-Latin-script licences for desks and police.
