i think you should apply your international driver licence in your home country..
at least for german citizens you must apply it in germany..

will tke cre nxt tme Julien - thnx - happy 2011

yeah... could you narrow it down for me. Gergarish is a pretty long street.... area or office name perhaps?

I could apply through my home country, but I don't have to - and this way I could avoid a courier, etc... I've got time (don't need it until June) but figured it might take awhile to track down the place which is why I'm starting early!

hoestly dont know where excatly - but will try my best to get the exact area ...

Going all the way back to the original post - only people who hold Libyan driving licences can obtain International Driving Permits (not Licences) in Libya. I'm pretty sure about this.
Have a look at this UK AA webpage where they say they can issue IDPs only to holders of UK licences.
Sorry if this is not helpful - but - this is Libya!

Or, as Snow Flake is from Canada, have a look at the Canadian AA page.  They issue IDPs to holders of Canada driver's licences only.

I've gotten an international driving licence from several gulf countries as a Canadian, so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to get one here. Although it is Libya... If anyone can get me the exact address, I will give it a try!

OMG! I have the same question and don't know the answer yet.

If you have a Libyan driving license you can get an International driving license issued at the Automobile and Touring Club of Libya, Sayedy Street, Tripoli. I don't know where that is.
Phone:
021 360 5986/7
021 360 5802
They won't issue on foreign licenses.

Thanks.
Does anyone know where this place is?

According to Wikimapia it should be here:

thank you guys.

It's a Libyan automobile club, but it also says Re7lat which could mean trips or travels but not tourism, but I don't think there are many automobile clubs in Tripoli either. So I would assume that that's the one.

Thanks a lot, MoEI.
This club is the place I found using the Wikimapia map you provided, it does not look like a place for the public though.
Let's see what snow_flake or I might find out tomorrow.


update Jan. 8

It is the one!
