A driver’s license allows you to drive a vehicle lawfully. it ‘s provided by the state you live in, but enables you to drive anywhere in the United States and Canada. Unlike the IDP the driver’s license can be considered as a proof of identity to law enforcement officials, that’s due to the several exams you have to pass so that you can get your first license. These exams include; a written exam on the road rules, an eye test and a road test. The states don’t only require passing these exams for getting the license, but also require a proof of your identity, like your birth certificate, passport or a valid driver’s license from another state.

**Accordingly, you will only have to get a state-issued driver’s license if you’re going to live in the US, but if you’re temporarily staying there IDP is the best option.

To purchase an official IDP, you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license issued by your native country.

Be careful not to be scammed where some companies or persons illegally sell fake IDPs with higher prices up to $400, either through websites, emails ,or even in person.
Unfortunately, if you’re mistaken for a fake IDP not only will you have to pay much more money, but also you will face legal problems or even travel delays.

Another way of scamming is being convinced by some marketers that their documents enable you to legally drive in the US without having your native issued license or if your native issued license is suspended or revoked. Actually they are misleading and if you follow them and you’re caught using an IDP without your native issued license, you would be in a very bad situation, you could be charged with driving without a license or with a suspended or revoked license

Not only this, the situation could develop to be worse if you don’t have proof of your identity (for example, a valid driver’s license, valid immigration documents, or a passport) you could even be arrested.
