What is the difference between national and international driving licenses for Vietnam?

National licenses are standard Russian driver's licenses that are valid in Russia and some countries, but not in Vietnam. They comply with the Vienna Convention but are insufficient for Vietnam. International Driving Permits (IDPs) are an addition to national licenses, issued as a multilingual booklet, and are required for driving in Vietnam. An IDP is only valid when accompanied by the national license and must be issued by government authorities, such as the traffic police in Russia. Do not confuse IDPs with notarized translations or documents from private organizations—they are not recognized. Always ensure that all categories from your national license are transferred to the IDP.
