International Drivers Permit - IDP (License)

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE AN IDP WHEN ABROAD, FOR ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE. An IDP REQUIRES a valid driver's license from your home country. Can NOT be issued more than SIX MONTHS PRIOR to your trip. NOW only good for ONE YEAR (my old one was good for 5 years). (Apparently you can get 5 and 10 year IDPs, but not via AAA - I'm wondering if the greater than 5 year license is really still legal? - I'm beginniing to think it is NOT legal for more than one year) May take 4-6 weeks for delivery, if by mail and not expedited. US State Department Road Safety Overseas You can obtain IDP at an AAA office (via mail)(if a member) When traveling overseas, carry an International Driving Permit - AAA Actual IDP Form for use with AAA - LISTS COUNTRIES WHERE IT'S VALID IDP from National Automoibile Club (NAC) - OK FOR NON-MEMBERS idl-international - says a 5 Year IDP costs $54.13 (US) TRANSLATES your Drivers License to another language - This is NOT an IDP - I would use AAA or NAC

PASSPORTS with RFID CHIPS Have Been HACKED

The U.S. Government wants to start issuing U.S. Passports with embedded RFID chips. The intent is to make it harder to forge passports. Unfortunately, the RFID chips used in some other country's passports have already been hacked (defeated). These passport hacks leave unsaid an even bigger security problem - RFID chips used to denote the contents of packages going through Customs would, in mine and other people's opinions, have become useless for tracking the real contents of items going through Customs.
