Where can I obtain an International Driving Permit?
 
Answer:
The International Driving Permit is a translation of an individual's driver license. This permit is carried in addition to an individual's driver license from their country of residence.

Michigan residents may wish to obtain an International Driving Permit if they intend to drive while in a foreign country. If you are interested in obtaining an International Driving Permit you should contact a full-service Automobile Club of Michigan (AAA) office or American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA) before traveling out of the U.S. Inquiries may be referred to AAA at 1-800-222-6424 or AATA at (540) 294-7000 for information on obtaining an International Driving Permit.

Residents of a foreign country, that signed the 1949 United Nations Convention on Road Traffic who are temporarily in the United States, may drive in Michigan with a valid International Driving Permit and home country license.
