Can I convert my South African drivers license in Australia?
Yes, but as of May 2025, South Africa lost its “Experienced Driver Recognition” status, meaning you may need additional training and testing before conversion.

ITCA can provide an International Driving Permit to help you drive legally during the transition period, giving you flexibility while completing the conversion requirements.
Can I use my Australian drivers license in the Philippines?
Yes, Australian licenses are valid in the Philippines for up to 90 days from arrival since they’re in English and recognized under Philippine law. After 90 days, you’ll need to convert it through the Land Transportation Office. ITCA provides IDPs that complement your Australian license, ensuring you have universally recognized documentation for extended stays or travel across multiple Southeast Asian countries.
