UtahHow to get an International Driving Permit in Utah
In short
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Utah license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Utah license, carried together with it. A Utah license and its IDP travel as a pair; in IDP countries, that pair is the legal minimum.
Salt Lake City, Provo, and St. George travelers love a self-drive itinerary, and Italy and Greece — both of which ask US license holders to carry an IDP — are the classic picks. AAA branch coverage in Utah varies by region and has been shrinking; our booklet is issued against your Utah license entirely online. The IDP itself is the multilingual translation of your existing license, prepared in the UN-convention format and carried alongside it.

Utah drivers — common questions
01
Do Utah license holders need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, in any country that requires an IDP for foreign drivers — your Utah license alone is not enough there. The IDP is a translation of your Utah license, carried together with it. A Utah license and its IDP travel as a pair; in IDP countries, that pair is the legal minimum.
02
Can I get an IDP in Utah without going to AAA?
Yes — the whole application is online. Enter your Utah license details, pay, and your digital IDP booklet is emailed to you in as fast as 8 minutes. No appointment and no branch visit.
03
Which convention covers Utah licenses abroad?
Utah 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 used in most countries worldwide.
