If you mean an international driving permit , the document is actually just an official translation of a national (government-issued_ driving license. An IDP is not valid for driving unless the national license is with it.IDPs are not required by every country.They are most important when traveling to a country where the local authorities are unlikely to be able to read your national language. For example, the USA recognizes IDPs but they are not required unless your national license is not in English (or at least Latin script).You normally only can get an IDP from an issuer (usually auto clubs and travel agencies) in your own country, though you may be able to apply by mail using a photocopy of your national license. In the USA, the American Automobile Association issues them.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internation��You posted your question in the USA section. If the casino that took hil IDP is in the USA they are not entitled to keep the IDP and should be required to return the document. That would be true if - for example - your husband was banned from the casino or even if the police were called and he was arrested. The IDP is not the casino s property. Of course, they may simply claim to know nothing about the IDP. An IDP isn t a goverment document so you can t complain to the agency that issued it, but a lost or stolen report should be made to the police because the IDP bears the issuee s photo and personal information.
An International Driver Permit is simply a translation of the information on a persons valid home country driver license into 10 different languages. They are NOT an actual drivers license. If your husband is living with you in New Jersey he should be getting a license from New Jersey. His Greek driver license will only be accepted in the U.S. for a certain length of time.The IDP s are specifically prohibited for use in some states like California.
