Other important
information
An
International Driver Permit (IDP) is essentially an English translation of a foreign
language drivers license issued by a foreign country. These permits can only be obtained
in the country which issued the actual license.
An International Driver Permit is not considered a valid license. It must accompany the
valid foreign license. The reason to have an IDP is to insure that your foreign language
license will be comprehensible and therefore acceptable, to all officials who may ask to
see your drivers license. The DMV may not accept a foreign language license as license
unless it is accompanied by an IDP.
If
you have an International Driver Permit, keep it with your foreign operator's license at
all times.
