Argentina
Argentina's road-safety guidance says the driver must carry the driving licence that authorizes the vehicle being driven. Driving without a valid licence for the vehicle category is not treated as lawful driving.
Austria
Driving in Austria requires a valid driving licence. Austria’s official driving-licence guidance assumes the driver is a licence holder and sets rules for Austrian, EU and recognised foreign licences.
Azerbaijan
A driving licence is the document confirming the holder’s right to drive in Azerbaijan, and the State Traffic Police says licences are issued only after the required exams are passed.
Bahrain
Bahrain's official traffic-services guidance is built around holding a valid driving licence or valid foreign licence for the relevant service. Driving in Bahrain without a valid licence should not be treated as lawful driving.
Belgium
Belgian road rules require a valid driving licence to drive. Belgian Justice has said road traffic offenders, including people driving without a valid licence, face tougher sanctions and imprisonment can apply.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina treats a driving licence as the document showing that a person may operate a vehicle of a given category or type. Driving without the licence required for the vehicle is not lawful driving.
Brazil
Brazilian traffic law treats driving without a CNH, PPD or ACC as a gravíssima infraction. The vehicle is retained until a licensed driver is presented.
China
China does not accept an international driving permit on its own, and foreigners need a temporary or formal Chinese driving licence based on a valid overseas licence and the required procedures.
