International Driving License
Tony Lee,
As I suggested in my first post this thread discussing International Driving Permit and International Driving License:
"Both are issued only if a valid State or Country license is provided and the issuing authority takes a photo copy of that license."
Both are issued by the American Automobile Association and do not claim to be stand alone licenses/permits. Yes one is actually named International Driving License and the other International driving Permit.
The issue here is that a rider lost his driving license from Belgium and wanted to know if he could cross into Ecuador on the strength of his International Driving License. My response was when I crossed Colombia to Ecuador I was not asked to produce any Driving License.
No one here, nor the AAA, has claimed that an International Driving License or International driving Permit are stand alone documents. The International Driving License is also know as the Pan American Driving License and covers only Pan American countries and the USA. And, FYI, the American Automobile Association is a far cry from a "scamming web site." Check various foreign Embassies and you will discover many require a valid operator's license plus an International driving License.
