ASEAN Treaties

Mutual Acceptance of Driver's License

Agreement on the Recognition of Domestic Driving Licences Issued by ASEAN Countries
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 9 July 1985

Protocol to Amend ASEAN Agreements
Subang Jaya, Malaysia, 23 July 1997

Free Flow of Private Vehicles

Whereas the mutual acceptance of driver's license among ASEAN countries has been somewhat established (among contracting parties, not necessarily among all ASEAN countries), free flow of private vehicles among ASEAN countries is yet to be discussed. (See also Custom Procedures in ASEAN Countries.)


Cooperation in the area of land transportation was somewhat discouraging during the period under review due to several reasons, including the lack of available funding. Many projects and related activities planned to further enhance cooperation in this sub-sector could not be implemented as scheduled due to either awaiting funding commitment from dialogue partners or delays in the implementation by the dialogue partners. The projects included the proposed establishment of Training Centres in Land Transportation; Standardization of Weights and Dimensions of Vehicle Used in the International Traffic; Studies in Inland Waterways and Ferry Links Development; Urban Railway System; Proposed Establishment of Research Centres on Road Safety; Standardization of Vehicle Inspection in ASEAN Countries; Free Flow of Private Vehicles within ASEAN; and Standardization of Road Design.
