IndianaHow to get an International Driving Permit in Indiana
In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Indiana license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Indiana license, carried together with it. Hold an IDP next to your Indiana license in any country that mandates one for visiting drivers.
Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville travelers usually connect through Chicago or Atlanta for trips abroad — often to Italy or Mexico, both of which require an IDP alongside a US license. Rather than hunting for a AAA counter (coverage in Indiana varies and has been shrinking), have the booklet issued online against your Indiana license and arrive at the airport done. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, issued in the official UN-convention format and carried alongside it.

Which convention covers Indiana licenses abroad?
Indiana licenses are issued in the United States, which is party to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic — so your IDP is issued in the 1949 format recognized in most countries worldwide.
