An International Driving License is a document that allows one to drive in any foreign country. The IDL must be accompanied by the valid license of your native land. The International Drivers License is more than a passport and it has vital statistics and the photograph of the particular person. It is actually mandatory to have this license if you are a US citizen because a driver license is only acceptable in Canada and western European countries. If you do not have an IDL, you will not get auto insurance in any foreign country. The very first thing or step in obtaining an international driver permit is to renew your present license. This is because you must have a valid U.S. driver license to get an IDL and it means you have to fulfil all the requirements for driving in the United States. You should check the expiration date of your U.S. driver license to make sure it will be valid for the duration of your trip.

For getting an IDL one needs to get two passport-size photos. One should be sure they are the right dimensions because the issuer of the IDP will not accept photos that are not the right size. Apply online with the documents. One should be aware of scams - individuals or companies claiming that they can get you an IDP are just after your money.

International Drivers License allows you to travel abroad with confidence. The IDL is recognized worldwide as a valuable document identifying you as a properly licensed resident. No test is required, however, you must have a valid Native Driver's License and be 18 years of age or older to qualify.

In the application, the person will be required to give all his personal information and details of travel such as the length of his stay in that particular country. After applying, one needs to contact the agency for details on permit fees. After this, he has to visit the local offices to make the payment and to collect the International Driving Permit. The combination of a U.S. driver license and an IDL will allow one to drive in 150 countries. One should note that in most countries, the age limit for having a driver license is 18 years.

For security cause a plastic card with a size of credit card accompanies the booklet, which also extends driver's identity information. To avoid any forgery - every plastic card is covered by our Security Shield Hologram which protects and prolongs the life of the card eliminating any possibility of counterfeiting. Each plastic card has newly developed 2D barcode (PDF417) which contains encrypted information and is fully readable by police scanners.

So happy journey with a lot of fun with the International Driving License.
