IDP Country Checker FAQs
How do I know if I need an IDP for my trip?
Use the search above or the quick reference table to check your destination. Always confirm with the official source before you travel.
What if I'm visiting multiple countries?
Check each country individually. Some may require an IDP, others may not. Always carry your US license and IDP if in doubt.
Is a digital IDP valid?
No, only physical IDPs issued by AAA or AATA are valid for US travelers.
