NebraskaHow to get an International Driving Permit in Nebraska
In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Nebraska license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Nebraska license, carried together with it. Nebraska drivers carry the IDP beside their Nebraska license in every country that requires one.
Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island residents planning a rental-car loop through Italy or Spain — both countries ask US license holders to carry an IDP — have no reason to chase down a AAA counter. Branch coverage in Nebraska varies and has been shrinking; your Nebraska license works with our online IDP booklet directly. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, prepared in the UN-convention format and carried alongside it.
