Line 53:
* Contracting parties may refuse to recognize the validity of driving permits for persons under eighteen or, for categories C, D, CE and DE, under twenty-one;
* an international driving permit shall only be issued by the contracting party in whose territory the holder has their normal residence and that issued the domestic driving permit or that recognized the driving permit issued by another contracting party; it shall not be valid for use in that territory.
In 2018, [[ISO/IEC JTC 1|ISO/IEC]] standard 18013 was published which established guidelines for the design format and data content of an ISO-compliant driving licence (IDL). The design approach is to establish a secure domestic driving permit (DDP) and accompanying booklet for international use, instead of the international driving permit (IDP) paper document.<ref>{{Cite web|title=ISO/IEC 18013-1:2018|website=ISO |url=https://www.iso.org/cms/render/live/en/sites/isoorg/contents/data/standard/06/37/63798.html|access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://staging.tttfp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ISO_IEC_FDIS_18013-1E-2nd-Edition-12Jan18.pdf |title=Draft: Information Technology — Personal Identification — ISO Compliant Driving Licence — Part 1: Physical Characteristics and Basic Data Set |date=12 January 2018 |via=tttfp.org |access-date=26 January 2021 |archive-date=25 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625062844/https://staging.tttfp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ISO_IEC_FDIS_18013-1E-2nd-Edition-12Jan18.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> The main ideology is a minimum acceptable set of requirements with regards to content and layout of the data elements, with sufficient freedom afforded to the issuing authorities of driving licences to meet domestic needs. The ISO standard specifies requirements for a card that is aligned with the UN Conventions on Road Traffic.[https://www.aamva.org/getmedia/99ac7057-0f4d-4461-b0a2-3a5532e1b35c/AAMVA-2020-DLID-Card-Design-Standard.pdf]
 
The specifications of the layout of the booklet is defined in Annex G of ISO/IEC 18013-1:2018. There are two options; a booklet with some personalisation or a booklet with no personalisation. The booklet shall be marginally larger than an ID-1 size card, with an insert pocket for storage of the card, and for convenient carrying of the booklet. The front cover should include the logo of the UN or the issuing country and the words "Translation of Driving Licence" and "Traduction du Permis de Conduire ".

In Canada, Mexico, and the United States, driving permits are issued by the provinces or states, respectively, (or either country's territories), and do not look the same nationwide. They are also used as a ''de facto'' or government-issued identification document for the holder.
 
The [[American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators]] provides a standard for the design of driving permits and identification cards issued by AAMVA member jurisdictions, which include all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and Canadian territories and provinces. The newest card design standard released is the 2020 AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (CDS).<ref>{{Cite web|title=AAMVA - DL ID Card Design Standard|url=https://www.aamva.org/DL-ID-Card-Design-Standard/|access-date=26 January 2021|website=www.aamva.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.aamva.org/AAMVA2020DLIDCardDesignStandard/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=26 January 2021 |archive-date=2 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210202113806/https://www.aamva.org/AAMVA2020DLIDCardDesignStandard/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The AAMVA standard generally follows part 1 and part 2 of ISO/IEC 18013-1 (ISO compliant driving license). The ISO standard in turn specifies requirements for a card that is aligned with the UN Conventions on Road Traffic, namely the [[Geneva Convention on Road Traffic]] and the [[Vienna Convention on Road Traffic]].[https://www.aamva.org/getmedia/99ac7057-0f4d-4461-b0a2-3a5532e1b35c/AAMVA-2020-DLID-Card-Design-Standard.pdf]
 
Most government issuers of driving permits also provide a government-issued identification card with similar attributes to those residents within their jurisdictions who do not have or maintain a valid driving permit, making it easier for them to do things such as open a bank account and perform any other activities that require official identification. Identification cards serve as government-issued photo ID but do not enable a person to operate a motor vehicle, a fact typically noted on the ID via the phrase 'Not a driver's licence' or similar wording. This type of photo ID is referred to as a Photo Card in some jurisdictions (for example, the Ontario Photo Card).
