Cross-border driving routes from Chad

You should carry an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence in most countries you drive into from Chad. The IDP is a certified translation of your licence, carried together with the original — not a government-issued permit and never a replacement for your licence. Whether it is required depends on the destination country, so open the route for the neighbour you are crossing into.

Chad shares a land border you can cross by car with 6 countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Libya, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan. Each route guide covers the main crossing, the driving side, and local rules.

International Driver Licence issues your digital IDP in as fast as 8 minutes, so you can have it ready before you set off from Chad.
