The contract for the issuing of International driving permits has as of the 1st April been moved from the Post Office to Paypoint outlets.
On the face of it this seems like not much of an issue as there are many outlets across the country, and we live in a large town (in the home counties) with lots of shops, super stores and local satellite shopping centres and when looking up outlets there are lots with many close by.
The problem arises when you then narrow down these sites to those that actually issue IDP’s and that’s when the shock faces you that you need to drive 30minmurtes to get to one that issues IDP’s.
This is a complete diminution of what used to be easy to use at post offices.
So if you may need one in the future, I suggest you have a quick search online to find your nearest paypoint that actually does IDP as not many do.
