IPPI Card: Austria

Is the IPPI Card accepted in your country ?

Until this summer, the IPPI Card was tolerated. Not any more. At the time being, the Austrian federation is collecting data from several countries, to find out whose licences are acceptable for the ministry of transport. The new rules should be published in October 2013, showing the specific and accepted countries.

Up to now, we collected samples licences / rating cards from following countries:

BEL, CZE, DEN, FRA, GBR, GER, HUN, ITA, NED, NOR, POR, ROM, SLO, SUI, SWE, AUS, CAN, NZL, USA.

The only one that might be accepted by our ministry of transport seems to be: CZE, GER, ROM, SLO, SUI.
