If you are over the age of 18 and want to drive while visiting another country, you might need an international driver's license depending on the country you plan to visit. An international driver's license is a supplement to your regular license and is not accepted in all countries.c

First check if you need an international driver's license in the country you are visiting. International driver's licenses are valid in over 150 countries with your information translated into 10 different languages.c

If you are a U.S. resident, some countries will accept your original license. However, it's always a good idea to have an international driver's license, as it's also a form of universal identification. Be aware, however, that not all countries accept an international driver's license.
