Travelling after Brexit

I'd just like to recommend that everyone keeps an eye out for .gov.uk information about Brexit.  Recent advice about International Driving Permits has now been withdrawn, so it's really important to keep checking that the advice you are acting on is still current!   

I live in Mevagissey and according to Post Office Website there are 5 issuing post offices within 15 mile radius of my home and a further 5 if you include Falmouth and Newquay. Presumably there are others if you live in West or East Cornwall?

Silly me ! I thought the official post office IDP finder  would be accurate when I clicked on it.. is there  another one? 

I live a bit east of you, SSB, and I picked up a lot as well.

I imagine this is the official Government Website dealing with all things Post Brexit for travellers to the EU?

On the point of IDP's, having had a read of the above website it almost suggests that obtaining and IDP is a bit belt and braces as no one really knows how different EU countries will react and it is possible that there will be different requirements for different countries. Why there should be need for additional paperwork is beyond me as every police force in Europe is familiar with the photocard licence we currently have and understands the information held on it as it is the same as used by their fellow countrymen! I am not sure what and IDP gives that the current licence does not?

The list provided by the Post Office has now been updated, I presume after withdrawal of the earlier Government advice (which has now changed).  IDPs are now available at our local post office - previously our nearest was in Leeds which is thirteen miles away - fortunately just a few metres from a bus stop as parking in Leeds is expensive and difficult.

Less than half a mile to our PO for IDP's

well i would ask the question, on day one how many of the officials who you would expect to check for green card, idp etc would know what they were looking at if you showqed it to them, after all we have been touring the EU for many years without all these documents, and all the officials today have probably never seen them or know what to ask for. EG. When i enquired with BF Poole re taking my dog out, they knew nothing and referred me to head office. My motto is get what the Gov say you will require as a minimum on day one and just go, i am sure nobody is going to get thrown in jail provided you have made reasonable provision.
