FAQ: What's an International Driving Permit?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an official document that translates your U.S. driver's license into multiple languages. It allows you to legally drive in over 170 countries worldwide when used in conjunction with a valid US driver's license.

The IDP was created by the United Nations, and each country determines how they are administered. In the US, only AAA is authorized to administer IDPs. Fast IDP serves as an expediter to help people get an IDP more quickly and easily than if they were dealing with AAA directly.
