While traveling in Southeast Asia, I’ve driven a motorbike in both Thailand and Myanmar with no problems but travelers I’ve run into have told me that it’s not as easy to do so in Indonesia. I’m told that police in Indonesia often stop tourists and fine those who don’t have an IDP (International Driving Permit). Since I didn’t get an IDP before I left, I needed to get one sent to me here, while traveling.

Your Options

Risk it

You always have the option of going without an IDP and taking the risk of being pulled over (Many countries have no problem renting to someone without a licence or even driving experience).

In some counties a confident smile and saying “international” while you point to your drivers license is all you need to get by without a problem. Hauppauge hd pvr 2 download.

Often the fine or penalty for driving without one is small (a warning or small fine) but this isn’t the case everywhere so be informed.

A Fake

Depending on where you’re traveling, you may find yourself in a place that makes forged documents for “novelty” purposes *cough* Khao San Rd *cough*.

While these fakes may work they are…

A. Significantly more expensive then a real IDP

B. Illegal. Passing off a fake ID and getting caught is a much more serious offence then driving without one in most places and can even land you in jail.

Go Legit

If you’re already abroad and want your IDP you can send your application in from abroad with the following…

Attach 2 recent signed Passport Type Photos (2″ x 2″) SIGNED ON BACK
Permit fee of $15.00 (NO CASH) and funds for return mail (see USPS.com for rates or you can just use credit card payment)
A photocopy of BOTH SIDES of U.S. Driver’s License.

It’s a simple, fairly hassle free process to achieve but there is a drawback… Time.

Personally, I emailed everything and had my application sent from someone in the US to AAA. The IDP still took several weeks to arrive (in Malaysia).

If you’re getting an IDP from abroad, check mail delivery times and give yourself a big window to get it. Have it sent where you’ll be in a month or so.

If you’re traveling and don’t have an address call a hotel you can plan to stay at in a month or two and ask them if they can accept your IDP or perhaps as a friend you’ve made on couchsurfing.org

Note

The US International Drivers Permit is only a translation of your Drivers license. It is an accepted drivers license in many countries worldwide but doesn’t give you permission to operate vehicles you aren’t licensed to operate domestically nor does it provide any sort of insurance while abroad. Make sure you are aware of all local laws and road rules and drive at your own risk.

How can I renew my American drivers' license when I'm out of the country and not coming back anytime soon?

My drivers' license (from Ohio) expires in November. I live abroad and won't be visiting the U.S.A. anytime before then. The Ohio DMV website says it must be renewed in person; is there any way to get around this? If not, what are my alternatives?
What about getting an international drivers' license? Would it remain valid after my original license had expired? Could I use this on later visits home after my Ohio license is no longer valid? Could I use it to later get a new Ohio license without taking the test again?

It sounds like you may need to let it expire. A quick google search says this re: Ohio:
Renewal after license has expired more than six months: Applicant must apply for a temporary instruction permit and then take all the necessary examinations before they can receive a permit, license or endorsement.
(http://www.daytondailynews.com/homes/content/community/special/driver.html)
So I guess the kicker is to plan to visit well within 6 months of November, and get a renewed license then, without having to retake the test etc.

Will you be back before April? .it looks like you have 6 months after it expires to get it renewned without having to take the tests again.

The international licence I got recently seems to be basically a translation that accompanies the real licence. It's not worth a thing on its own.

Found that already, nkknkk. So an international license is worthless?

Uk Driving Licence Renewal

Unless you want to drive internationally, yes. I doubt Ohio will recognize it for this purpose.

International license is not worthless but must be accompanied by valid US license. So, it does not extend your existing license, but makes it possible for you to drive in a foreign country that wouldn't let you on 'just' a US license.
What it *can* do is make it much easier for you to transfer your license from one country to another.

In theory you are supposed to do this before moving overseas..

I don't know where you're living now, but why not get a drivers license for your province? In Canada, I was able to use my valid California license to get a Manitoba license without taking any tests. Then, once you're back in Ohio, use your valid (wherever) license to get an Ohio license, hopefully without taking tests. I'd call the DMV in Ohio to see what the rules are.

The profile says you're in Oman. According to this site, you transfer your Ohio licence to an Oman licence. In fact, if you're driving there, you should do it because you could end up in trouble for driving in Oman without a valid driver's licence (No matter how attached you may feel to your home state, you are not a resident of Ohio anymore, you are a resident of Oman). States usually have reciprocical understandings when it comes to driver's licence (which means you can later swap your Oman licence for a Ohio licence.)

You can only renew by post if you're serving abroad in the military. If you get an Omani licence and an international drivers' permit (in Oman, translated to English) then you may be allowed to drive on it for visits or short stays in Ohio,
