Can I drive with the Australian driving license in Ukraine?

We have not yet collected the Australian laws. Please visit us again in a later time.

The laws in Ukraine say the following:
30. Особи, які тимчасово перебувають на території України, мають право на керування транспортними засобами за наявності міжнародного посвідчення водія та посвідчення водія іноземної держави, що не відповідає вимогам Міжнародної конвенції про дорожній рух 1968 року, записи в якому виконані або продубльовані літерами латинського алфавіту, або у разі наявності посвідчення водія іноземної держави, що відповідає вимогам Міжнародної конвенції про дорожній рух 1968 року, записи в якому виконані або продубльовані літерами латинського алфавіту.

It means that:
1. Holders of an Australian driving license can drive in Ukraine, provided that their license complies with the requirements of the International Road Traffic Convention of 1968. According to the information provided, the Australian driving license includes all necessary details in English and complies with Annex 6 of the International Road Traffic Convention of 1968. Since English uses the Latin alphabet and the license contains the required details, it should be acceptable in Ukraine for individuals temporarily staying in the country.
2. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not strictly required if the foreign driving license meets the requirements of the International Road Traffic Convention of 1968 and includes Latin alphabet entries. Since the Australian driving license complies with these requirements and is in English, which uses the Latin alphabet, an IDP would not be necessary for Australian license holders to drive in Ukraine. The IDP serves as a translation document and is typically used when a driving license is not in a language that uses the Latin alphabet or does not meet the specified international conventions. In the case of the Australian driving license, it already meets the necessary criteria, so an IDP would be redundant.

Different rental agencies might still require an IDP even while the local laws do not require it. Please find your appropriate local supplier in the list above to verify.

We don't have any real life reports by Australian travelers in Ukraine.
