AAA branches that issue International Driving Permits (IDPs) generally administer IDPs during all hours when they are open. The time when AAA branches are open varies, but they usually open between 7-9am and close between 5-6pm, Monday through Friday. Some AAA locations are also open on Saturday mornings, but all branches are closed on Sundays and public holidays. You cannot get an IDP from AAA when it is closed. Hours vary by branch, so check the hours of your local AAA before going there.
Not all AAA branches issue IDPs. If a AAA branch issues IDPs, it is usually listed on the website for that branch. Even if a branch lists online that it issues IDPs and is open, it’s always a good idea to call in advance to check that they have IDPs in stock before you go.
Once you arrive at a AAA branch, obtaining the IDP can almost always be done on the same day, generally within 30-60 minutes.
