International Driver's License
(IDL)
International Driving Permit: An
International Driving Permit is not a driver license.
The permit only verifies that you hold a valid driver license in your
home1) country. Your foreign driver license, not the International
Driving Permit, allows you to drive.
Local traffic police may not be able to understand the language on
your normal driving license, but most likely at least one of the languages
on the IDP. For driving in Europe, it is said, the IDP is more necessary
in some countries than others, but is advised for most. And in a lot
of countries worldwide you cannot rent a car at all unless you have
an IDP. Countries where English is the spoken language, such as the
Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, do not
require an IDP. However, insurance companies in many other jurisdictions
often require IDPs to cover drivers of vehicles driven there.
Contact the authorities in your home1) country to get an
International Driving Permit. If you are not a resident of the U.S.,
you cannot apply for an International Driving Permit in the U.S.
Note for U.S. residents: The DMV does not issue International
Driving Permits.
