define international driving license please. My understanding was: some countries had reciprocity, in that they would recognize each others' licenses for short term stays

    I got one of these before that let me drive in another country with my resident country’s driver license, but there was a bit of extra paperwork involved.

    ah, this explains my confusion. the reciprocity is already in there:

    An IDP is not required if the driver's domestic licence meets the requirements of the 1968 convention; the domestic licence can be used directly in a foreign jurisdiction that is a party to that convention
