How to find the closest AAA office that issues International Driving Permits (IDPs)

If you need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in the United States, the American Automobile Association (AAA) is one of only two organizations authorized to issue them (the other being AATA), and the only one that has physical branches. If you go to a AAA branch, you'll pay $20 for the IDP booklet and $10-30 for your passport photos. However, not all AAA offices provide this service, so it's important to know if the AAA location you're thinking about going to issues them. Here’s how to check:

Step 1: Visit the AAA Office Locator

The best way to find a nearby AAA office is by using their official office locator tool. Go to this webpage and enter your zip code to see a map of AAA offices near you.

AAA's office locator webpage is easy to use and generally up-to-date, though the hours of operation are sometimes not accurate.

Step 2: Check if the AAA branch issues IDPs

Once you can see the nearby AAA locations, follow these steps to ensure they issue International Driving Permits:

1. Click on the office you’re interested in.

2. Look under “Travel Services” and confirm that “International Driving Permits” is listed. If it’s not, you will need to go to a different AAA office.

Step 3: Contact the Office (Optional)

Even if an office lists IDPs as a service, it’s a good idea to call ahead and confirm:

• IDP booklets are in stock - There have been several times when our team has gone to a AAA branch and they're out of stock of IDP booklets.

• Office hours - Make sure they are open when you plan to visit. It's best to arrive at least an hour before closing time to make sure that they're able to process your IDP before closing.

If you can't to head to a AAA branch in person, you can work with us at Fast IDP to quickly and easily submit your IDP application online and have it delivered as soon as the next day. We’ll go to AAA on your behalf and get you an IDP, then express ship it to you anywhere in the world. Reach out if you have any questions and drive safely!
