সংক্ষিপ্ত উত্তর — IDP carry করার সাথে original Bangladesh license দুটোই দরকার। Rental car counter এ দুটোই দেখাতে হয়। ১৭০+ country এ valid, কিন্তু কিছু country এ local license বা specific test mandatory।
- Carry both: IDP + Bangladesh license original
- Validity: 1 year from issue
- Renewal: Bangladesh BRTA
- Rental car: Counter mandatory show
- Police check: Both produce
- Insurance valid: IDP-backed
