In most cases, a driver's license issued in the U.S. won't be recognized abroad. However, if you need to drive for a short-term period, you have options. Many governments accept the international driving permit (IDP), which allows citizens of a foreign country with a valid driver's license to drive while traveling in a foreign country.

 

Many countries require drivers from other nations to hold an international driving permit to drive within their borders. Showing an IDP in these countries can prevent legal hassles such as fines and bail fees if you are stopped or in an accident and are unable to show proof of your eligibility to drive.

 

Note that while not all countries require IDPs, you might find it helpful to obtain one anyway. It serves as extremely useful identification because it is translated into 10 languages, so it can prevent communication issues during the process of ID checks. An IDP may also be necessary to rent a car in the country you're visiting.
