International Driver's License

We make it easy to get an International Driver's License.

The U.S. State Department recently issued a statement through their "Tips for Foreign Travel" brochure, stating that more and more countries prefer drivers to carry an IDL as an accompaniment to their U.S. state-issued license.

Before you apply for your  international driver's license you'll need to have your photograph taken according to government specifications and printed on ID compliant paper. 

The Photo Express makes the best ID photos in North Dakota -- ready in just 10 minutes, no appointment needed.  

Then stop into the AAA office, conveniently located next door to The Photo Express inside Kirkwood mall.  AAA will complete the application process. 

 Bring your valid U.S. driver's license, $10, and your ID photos from The Photo Express.   

 The AAA office closes at 6pm Monday - Saturday and is closed all day Sunday.

Let The IDP Speak For You!

When traveling overseas, carry an International Driving Permit ... even if you're not planning to drive. Should you need to communicate with foreign authorities, this recognizable form of identification can help you get on your way more quickly.

Valid in more than 150 countries, the permit contains your name, photo and driver information translated into ten languages, plus English.

IDP FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How will I benefit by carrying an International Driving Permit on my next overseas trip?
The International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document that provides important information from your driver's license in eleven different languages, including English. This document came into existence by virtue of a treaty signed in 1949 by the United States and other countries. As an official document, the IDP is recognized in more than 150 countries today. Carried in conjunction with a regular driver's license, the IDP can break down language barriers when traveling in non-English speaking countries. The $10 charge for an IDP is a small price to pay for such peace of mind.

Am I required to have an IDP in foreign countries?
There are some countries that do not recognize a driver's license from the United States, but officially recognize an IDP (e.g. Spain). The IDP can satisfy these types of situations. Keep in mind, however, that while a certain country's government may not require an IDP, car rental companies located in that country, such as Hertz, may require an IDP to rent a car. Purchasing an IDP prior to departure can save a lot of potential hassles.

What happens if I am stopped and given a citation against my IDP?
An IDP does not hold any powers of its own apart from your driver's license, and therefore, you do not have a separate driving record with an IDP. The IDP is valid only when carried in conjunction with, and acts as a translation of, a driver's license. If you are traveling in a foreign country and were to be stopped by a law enforcement officer, your U.S. driver's license and IDP should be presented to the officer. If a citation is issued to you, it will be reflected on the driving record that is with your driver's license.

Since Hong Kong was transferred from Great Britain to China, do I still need an IDP to drive there?
The United Nations recently provided official notification to the U.S. State Department indicating that the treaty which applies to Hong Kong at present will continue to apply to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the name given to the territory by China. Such notification should not be misconstrued to mean that China now recognizes IDPs, as the People's Republic of China has never become a party to the treaty.

If someone visits the United States from a foreign country and discovers that they need an IDP, can they purchase one from AAA?
An IDP must be issued in the same country as the driver's license of the traveler. Therefore, if someone from the United Kingdom has a U.K. driver's license, their IDP must also be issued in the United Kingdom.

I have a U.S. driver's license, but I am a citizen of another country. Where should I obtain an IDP?
The IDP must be issued in the same country as the driver's license. In the case of a driver's license being issued in the United States, the IDP must also be issued in the United States. Contact your nearest AAA office to obtain an IDP.

If someone has a drivers license from a U.S. territory such as Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, how would an IDP work for them?
Since their driver's license was issued by a U.S. possession, their IDP would also be issued in the United States. Contact a AAA office in the United States for more information.

What do I need to obtain an IDP?
You need to complete a brief application form (available through your nearest AAA office), provide two passport-sized photographs with your signature on the back of them, a photocopy of your valid U.S. issued driver's license, and cash or a money order for $10 in U.S. funds.
