Your IDP is a valid form of identification in 150 countries worldwide and contains your name, photo and driver information. It translates your identification information into 10 languages — so it speaks the language even if you don't. Most countries highly recommend an International Driving Permit.
 
Another country cannot issue an IDP to be used in conjunction with a US driver’s license. An IDP accompanying a US driver’s license can only be issued in the USA. See ALREADY OVERSEAS
 
Many countries require an IDP to drive legally. Fines for driving without an IDP can be quite costly. Check countries requirements before travel.
 
An IDP gives you peace of mind while you're out exploring the world - even if you're not planning to drive!
