How to get an International Driving Permit in Oklahoma
In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Oklahoma license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Oklahoma license, carried together with it. An Oklahoma license needs its IDP alongside it in any country that requires the permit of foreign drivers.
Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Norman travelers mostly head abroad to Mexico — which asks for an IDP with a US license — with Italy the big European draw, and it asks for one as well. Rather than mapping AAA branches (coverage in Oklahoma varies and has been shrinking), get the booklet issued online against your Oklahoma license. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, prepared in the UN-convention format and carried alongside it.
