The first question any police officer stopping you will ask is about your driver's license. If it's international, the issue will likely be resolved, but this is not always the case. It is best to show the officer a genuine local license. If you don't have any license, you risk a fine or even having your vehicle impounded. Although police are not often encountered on the island's roads, there is a chance you might be stopped. Usually, this happens at the most inconvenient time when you're late for a meeting, hurrying to meet friends, or rushing to catch a flight at the airport. So, having a license and peace of mind are practically synonymous.
In Indonesia, licenses are issued separately for each category. For cars and motorcycles, these are two different cards, but you can obtain them simultaneously.
Advantages of Indonesian licenses:
- Quick conversations with the police and peace of mind.
- Valid in all ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia).
- Can be used as an ID in hotels and many official establishments.
- May offer local pricing for tourist attractions (not everywhere).
- Possessing local licenses earns respect and approval from Balinese people.

Why are local licenses better than Russian or other foreign ones?
