How Fast IDP can help
We go to AAA on your behalf to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP). Simply apply and we'll take care of the rest. Your IDP can be delivered as quickly as the following day in the US or 2-5 days internationally.
For Americans to drive abroad, many countries require an 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 yourself is the cheapest way to obtain an IDP. AAA also accepts applications by mail directly. Typical return mail times when working with AAA directly are 3-5 weeks for domestic and 5-7 weeks for international shipments. Details can be found on the AAA website.
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.
