After work I went to AAA to get an international drivers permit. I’ve been told by a couple of people that I don’t need this… but, I figure for $20, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The process was fairly simple. Fill out a one page application that just asks for the information on your drivers license and provide a passport photo. Since I moved recently my CA drivers license does not show the correct address. When I asked the staff at AAA if I should put my correct address they said no. The form has to match the license exactly because all the international permit really is is a translation of the information on your drivers license. Somehow when I walked out of the AAA with a paper booklet that looked like an amusement park passport I felt like I had been scammed.
