International driving licence I am sure is required and at only £5 in the UK I always carry one, not sure what you mean by international bike registration but my UK registration document was fine in Turkey, Georgia and Azerbajian.

Hello Frank,

Your German driving licence and technical sertification of your bike to your name is enough for this countries.

I lived 7 years in the area (in Aze and visited Georgia extensively).

Note, if you visit Armenia before Azerbaijan, you will be not allowed to Azerbaijan as Nagorno Karabagh region is Azerbaijani land and captured by Armenia.

I don't know if you will be allowed to Armenia after visiting Azerbaijan...

my 2 pfennigs...

Hi Samy,

thanks for the quick reply and for the explanation of Azerbaijan/Armenia/Nagorno Karabagh "trap". I was allready aware of that.
Armenia after Azerbaijan should work.

See you on the road!

Not quite correct. Only if you have evidence of visiting Karabakh will the Azerbaijanis potentially refuse you entry. Having stamps from Armenia is fine.

Hi Eurasiaoverland,

the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs says: If you have a stamp of Armenia you have to expect long waiting and intense interviews at the border of Azerbaijan.
This doesn´t mean it happens to everybody, but if they write it, it has happend to a significant number of travellers.

It means, too, that you can enter with a stamp from Armenia, but to keep things smooth, we will do those two countries in the easy order: AZ first, ARM second.

Greetings from Köln

Panny

UK driving licence is acceptable in Kazakhstan so I presume this would apply to other EU licences also. Carnet is not required, just ensure you have your original registration document with you.

I don't know about Armenia or Azerbaijan, sorry, but you may find more useful information on Caravanistan | The Silk Road Travel Guide

Hi Mark,

the hassle with the German international driving license is only valid for a year.

There´s something simular for the bike registration/document.

We had both for our RTW trip but in 3.5 years it was requested roughly half a dozen times only.

See you on the road

Frank
