Default Apply for IDL in Portugal to drive in other countries.

Could someone please let me know where I could go in Portugal to apply for the International Driving License (IDL), which is needed if I want to drive overseas?

In the UK, for example, I could go to the Post Office and apply for one. It doesn't appear that CTT do the same in Portugal. Where could I go instead? Many thanks.

Go to the Automovel Club de Portugal. Look up your nearest office on their website .

Good news is that you can do it by post if needed

Bad news is don't expect it to be as cheap as UK, many countries use it as a money printer e.g

Uk £5
Portugal €48
Indonesia 2million IDR (£100)

It's GBP 8 in Hong Kong. I get one every year. Great value.
