Travel Safer with an International Driving Permit

An International Driving Permit gives you the peace of mind and freedom to explore the open road wherever you travel.

Valid in more than 150 countries, the permit translates your drivers license data into ten languages and lets foreign officials know you're a certified driver.

AAA is authorized by the U.S. State Department to sell International Driving Permits. Don't fall for unauthorized sellers online—get yours from AAA.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for an International Driving Permit, you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid U.S. state or territorial drivers license. If another country issued your drivers license, you must obtain your permit from that country. AAA can’t issue an International Driving Permit to anyone that doesn’t hold a valid U.S. drivers license.
