How to get an International Driving Permit in Florida

In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Florida license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Florida license, carried together with it. Florida license holders need the IDP anywhere it's mandated for foreign drivers — carry it with the Florida license, not instead of it.

Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville are packed with travelers heading to Italy, Spain, and Greece — three countries that all require an IDP alongside a US license. AAA branch coverage across Florida varies by county and walk-in service has been shrinking, which is why most Florida applicants now use the online route: your Florida license works with our IDP booklet without an office visit. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, issued in the official UN-convention format and carried alongside it.
