But I would go to the office mentioned in the post and ask them to be sure. There may be more rules than what I know about that may apply to your situation.

So if your US issued license expires soon, so will your international license. See the IDP application in the post and the note at the bottom of that form for more info. I don’t even think they will give you an international license anyways, since you other license is expiring so soon anyways. Heck, maybe even a US license is not enough to get an international license from here, as I had a SOFA license that I used when I got mine back then. Plus international driver’s licenses are not valid for driving in the country of issue anyways too. Your best bet is try to renew your US license via mail, as most States allow you to do this under certain circumstances. I hope this helps. Good luck!DJBeRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774836830029289010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339266132084500503.post-20217114445599836472015-10-21T17:48:40.939+09:002015-10-21T17:48:40.939+09:00I have a US license ready to expire 10/31/15 I hav...I have a US license ready to expire 10/31/15 I have had it for years.
