I need an international drivers license?

Question

I need to be able to drive in France while I go for a trip in March.

Where can I get one?

Answer 1

You don't need one if you have a valid US driver's license. But if you want one, then go to your local office of the American Automobile Association (AAA).

When traveling overseas, carry an International Driving Permit ... even if you're not planning to drive. Should you need to communicate with foreign authorities, this recognizable form of identification can help you get on your way more quickly. Valid in over 150 countries, the permit contains your name, photo and driver information translated into ten languages. Before you travel the world, travel to any AAA office for your International Driving Permit.

If you wish to obtain your International Driving Permit in person, please bring your:

-valid U.S. driver's license, $15 (plus local tax),

-two ORIGINAL passport-type photos (also available at AAA full service offices).

You may also wish to fill out our International Driving Permit application in advance. Simply print out the application (click the link below), fill in the information requested and bring it with you to the full service AAA office nearest you.

If you wish to obtain your International Driving Permit by mail, send us a copy to either address below of your :

-U.S. drivers license (it must be valid the entire time the IDP is valid),

-two (2) passport photos that have your signature on the back of each photo

-a completed International Drivers Permit application (available below),

-one check for $15.75 ($17.50 if you need it sent to an international address) made out to AAA

Answer 2

Ask your local DMV about this. They can tell you.
