An IDP, sometimes known as an international driver’s license, has your name, photo and information in your government-issued driver’s license translated into 10 different languages. You carry it along with your U.S. driver’s license.Deal says if you need an IDP, make sure you are getting the real thing. Scammers create websites to sell fake IDPs or try to sell them to you in person or online for a hefty fee. These scammers are not only trying to steal money and personal information, but they even issue you a worthless IDP which could cause legal problems and delays for you if you are detained for using it to drive in a foreign country.
