The International Driving Permit (IDP) is the only document recognized by law for US drivers abroad. So-called "international driver's licenses" are not valid and are often part of scams. Learn how to spot the difference and protect yourself.
- IDP: Official, UN-recognized translation of your US license
- International Driver's License: Not legally valid, often a scam
Always apply through AAA or AATA, the only authorized US providers.
