Cross-border driving routes from Russia

You should carry an International Driving Permit alongside your national licence in most countries you drive into from Russia. 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.

Russia shares a land border you can cross by car with 14 countries: Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, North Korea, Norway, Poland, Ukraine. 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 Russia.
