Good to know
- Membership is optional — anyone 18 or older with a valid U.S. driver's license can get an International Driving Permit.
- USIDA membership is nationwide, with the same published benefits, pricing, and terms across all 50 states and support for U.S. citizens traveling abroad.
- A permit is a translation of your U.S. license. It is not a license on its own and is not valid for driving in the United States.
