The International Driving Permit is translated into the nine official languages of the United Nations, including English, and serves as a translation to be used in conjunction with the visitor's valid driver's license. It can be useful in emergencies, such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved. • Visitors from foreign countries must obtain their International Driving Permit in their native country prior to arrival in the U.S. • http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/foreign.htm
