| International Driving License (IDP) Information |
| International Driving Permits (IDP's) are honored in Colombia. Note that a US driving permit must be carried along with the IDP at all times. Colombia honors the Inter-American Driving Permits (IADP's). Note that a US driving permit must be carried along with the IADP at all times. |
How to get an IDP: Mail or bring this application
to the AAA office nearest you. Digital photographs must be of a certain quality. Please read
this article for guidelines.
Why you should get an International Driving Permit: 1. The IDP serves as a translation document for a U.S. license
in countries where English is not the primary language. 2) In the event of an accident, some insurance companies will
insist on seeing one. 3) In the event of a traffic infraction, the police may insist on seeing one. 3) It's only $15 and
could save you a lot of time and far more money.
