I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Great news. I considered getting my Cambodian license renewed so I can drive when in-country, this is going to make life much easier.
Expats could also just use these instead of getting the Cambodia driving license. If spending enough time annually back in their home country can deal with renewals and never get a Cambodia license.
I found the forms for Americans to process it, pick one of these 2 agencies to deal with:

Any update on how to obtain an International License/Permit in Cambodia, if you already have a 10 year Cambodian License? Can they do it at Aeon 2?

@Phuket true that. However the same happens when using your Cambodian license in Thailand. So it will mostly be a case of the officer stopping you and his mood. A fine, some tea money or no problem.

Avis allowed me to rent in Thailand with a Cambodian license, said insurance was valid but the police would fine me if caught.Pooh Bear wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 6:59 am@Phuket true that.

From what I gather from Wikipedia, Cambodia are taking the slightly unusual step of requiring you to bring your IDP in to get a Cambodian driving license, rather than just allowing you to drive on the IDP.
My question is, if I do this, will I get a proper license with a decent expiry date, or will they just give me one that expires in a few months at the same time as my IDP? Anyone?

Sounds like wiki is talking BS.
Why bother to convert an IDP when you’ve got your overseas license?
And besides, the IDP is not a license. It’s a permit, hence the “P” bit. You can’t convert that to a 12 month license.

If you’re able to cite some official documentation showing that the wiki page is incorrect, then I warmly encourage you to correct the entry - I’m sure the users will be very grateful to you.bubbletea wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 8:31 amSounds like wiki is talking BS.

Yes you can use your IDP in Cambodia…but you have to convert it to a local licence?!?
Wiki isn’t the gospel. It’s full of inaccuracies.

So what’s the deal with this, can you drive with IDP or need local license?
Local license helps with local insurance but isn’t needed otherwise?

As opposed to taking a driving test to get a local license, yes.
Hence why I invite anyone who can actually cite an authoritative source to fix the wiki page instead of just mouthing off here with their opinions based on the anecdotal evidence of not having been arrested yet.Wiki isn’t the gospel. It’s full of inaccuracies.
