If you’re traveling overseas, don’t just take your primary driver’s license, also make sure to carry an International Driving Permit. The International Drivers Permit, or IDP contains your name, photo and driver information, translated into 10 languages and is valid in over 150 countries. Even if you’re not planning to drive, this is an internationally recognized form of identification and can be very helpful if you’re in a situation where you have to communicate with foreign authorities.

In order to apply for an International Drivers Permit in the United States, you must go to one of the two automobile associations authorized by the U.S. Department of State: the American Automobile Association (AAA), or the American Automobile Touring Alliance. AAA has the application available online. AAA charges a fee of $15.00 and you can simply bring it in to AAA office near you.
