South Korea will start issuing a new type of driver's license with personal information in English on the back in September at the earliest.
The Korea Road Traffic Authority said the new license will replace the international driver's license in 35 countries, including Britain, Canada and Australia.
The information on the new license will include the driver's name, address and sex, as well as the issuing authority.
It will also display the types of vehicles that its holder can operate in compliance with international standards.
According to the traffic authority, South Koreans with the new Korean-English driver's license will be able to drive cars in 35 countries without any procedure.■
