How Fast IDP Can Help
For Americans to drive abroad, many countries and rental companies require an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to a US driver's license. The US government has authorized only AAA to issue IDPs – no other organization, company, or government agency has this authority. ​
Visiting a AAA branch in person is the fastest and cheapest way to obtain an IDP. AAA also accepts applications by mail. Typical return mail times are 2-5 weeks for domestic and 5-7 weeks for international. Additional details can be found on the AAA website.

With Fast IDP, one of our team members goes to AAA on behalf of the applicant to obtain an IDP. Simply upload your completed documents on our Apply page, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Beware of scams: In 2024, AAA is the only authorized issuer of International Driving Permits in the US. All other companies claiming to issue IDPs for American drivers operate illegally and produce illegitimate documents. We distinguish ourselves from fraudulent companies by serving as an expediter of IDP applications through AAA and do not claim to issue our own IDPs. See the FAQs for more information.
How Fast IDP Works
Step 1: Upload your documents
Upload the documents required by AAA (IDP application form, copy of your driver's license, and passport-style photos). Then, select your processing & shipping speeds and pay. Total rates start at $78 plus tax.
Step 2: We get your IDP from AAA
We review your application to make sure it is complete before a member of our team goes to a AAA branch with your application to get an IDP for you.
Step 3: We ship you your IDP
We email you a picture of your IDP then ship it anywhere in the world. Your IDP can be delivered in as little as 1-2 days within the US and 2-5 business days abroad.
