Also they are not valid by themselves and must be carried along with your state or province issued drivers license. IDL's are issued by the American & Canadian Automobile Associations. You can learn more about them at these web sites:

Canada: CAA - IDP (includes statement of FL enforcement deferral)
United States: AAA - IDP
Good info, Skyguy. I didn't realize they are actually not a drivers license! Thanks for the links.
