Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to minimise possible delays to the process of obtaining an international driving permit in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

The Post Office began issuing all three formats of International Driving Permits (IDPs) in 2,500 branches on 1 February 2019, with 90 percent of the UK population living within ten miles of an issuing branch.

Centrally, the Post Office currently holds around 1.3million IDPs. The Post Office is working to increase the number of IDP issuing branches to 3,000, focusing on areas which have seen high levels of sales. The Post Office has also been proactively delivering extra stock to affected branches and is ensuring that all issuing branches are ordering more IDPs when stocks are low.
