The advantages of International Driver’s Document (ID License) - IDL Benefits

It is recommended that you obtain International Driver's Document (IDD) prior to traveling overseas.  
International Driver’s Document and photo-ID supplement serve as a translation of your native driver's license into multiple foreign languages, so it can be easily interpreted by English-speaking and foreign authorities.  International Driver’s Document is honored in over 150 countries outside the United States.
