Question

About IDL, how long does it last?

Answer 1

The way I understand it, an International driver's license is not a license at all.

It is only a translation of the information listed on the license from your home (or issuing) country.



With no existing license, you cannot get the "translation".

With a valid license issued in any U.S. state, you don't need an International.

Answer 2

International driving license is just the translated version of your original driving license. You need to hire the services of certified translators to get your license translated so that you can use it internationally.
