New HampshireHow to get an International Driving Permit in New Hampshire
In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your New Hampshire license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your New Hampshire license, carried together with it. Carry your New Hampshire license and the IDP together; abroad they only work as a set.
Manchester, Nashua, and Concord travelers usually fly out of Boston for Europe — most often to Italy and France, and both require an IDP with a US license. Instead of fitting a AAA visit into the trip prep (coverage in New Hampshire varies and has been shrinking), have the booklet issued online against your New Hampshire license. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, issued in the official UN-convention format and carried alongside it.
