What is the difference between an international driving permit and an Inter American driving permit?
The IADP is similar to the International Driving Permit (IDP), but is specific to drivers in North, Central, and South America. The IADP might not be issued by all countries in the Americas, due to most of them being parties of the 1949 Geneva Convention or the 1968 Vienna Convention, thus most only issue the IDP.
