Just read this on baliwaves ....
not sure if your aware, and no - one tells you in OZ , but international drivers licences need to be endorsed by the local police in Indo to be legal .Almost all street cops are unaware of this, but its actually not legal without it (the indonesian Police endorsement stamp), and it may implicate someone legally incase of an accident or medivac insurance claim ( in a bad way ) if the endorsement wasnt done.All thats required is the licence is to be presented to any police station, where a RP15,000 admin fee is paid and they will put the endorsement stamp on the front of the international licence for you .Better to be safe than sorry.
