About International Driver Permits (IDP)
An IDP is needed for travel more than 50 miles into Canada or 300 miles into Mexico and should be obtained prior to driving in any other countries. An IDP can help you communicate with foreign authorities. It provides an official translation of your driver license into 10 foreign languages and is acknowledged in over 150 countries around the world. IDPs are not driver licenses but should be used as a supplement to one.
IDP issuance is restricted to persons 18 years and older who hold a valid US License and is valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.Â
Medium
The cost for an IDP is $15 plus applicable shipping & handling fees.
Shipping Via U.S. Postal Service:
First Class Mail = $3.00
Priority Mail = $6.00
Shipping Via Courier (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.):
Expedited Service = $30.00 for U.S. domestic delivery and  $75.00 for international delivery
Please allow 4 – 6 weeks for the IDL to be processed unless you pay for expedited shipping.
No. Due to the requirements that hard copy supporting documents (i.e. original photos and signed copy of drivers license) and payment be included in the submission, only application received by mail or in person will be accepted. |
