The UK does not currently require visitors to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) to allow them to drive here. After the UK leaves the EU, arrangements for drivers who do not hold a UK driving licence who are visiting or living in the UK will not change. As a result, there will be no requirement to check IDPs for EU driving licence holders entering the UK.
