North Korea

North Korea is not a member of the 1949 Geneva Convention
and does not issue International Driving Permits (IDP) in the required format.
Therefore, you cannot drive in Japan with a license or IDP from North Korea.

* Please note that International Driving Permits (IDP) issued under any format other than the 1949 Geneva Convention (such as the 1968 Vienna Convention) are NOT valid for driving in Japan.
* If North Korea joins the 1949 Geneva Convention in the future, an IDP issued by the authorities of North Korea in the format prescribed by said Convention will then be recognized as a valid license in Japan.
* For mid-to-long-term residents holding a foreign driver's license, we recommend converting your license to a Japanese one at the Driver's License Center of any Prefectural Police headquarters.

[IMPORTANT] Warning: Fraudulent International Driving Permits (IDPs)

Currently, numerous unauthorized websites are selling counterfeit International Driving Permits, falsely claiming they are "Valid in Japan." These documents do not meet Japanese legal requirements. Presenting a counterfeit IDP is considered "Driving Without a License" in Japan, and you will not be allowed to drive under any circumstances.

Following police guidelines, we strictly verify the authenticity of all documents. MONSTER KART accepts no responsibility for any trouble or damages resulting from the presentation of counterfeit documents.
