A valid foreign driver’s license is still necessary. An IDP is not an international driver’s license, which would not be valid in Illinois. If the non-resident’s license is in a language other than English, it will be helpful to have it translated so that in case the non-resident is pulled over, a police officer will be able to understand the license.Īn acceptable translation is usually included in an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). This means that a foreign national visiting Illinois, who is not a resident of the State, but has a valid driver’s license from his or her home country is allowed to drive in Illinois with that driver’s license. Illinois law states that “ nonresident who has in his immediate possession a valid license issued to him in his home state or country may operate a motor vehicle for which he is licensed for the period during which he is in this State.” 625 ILCS 5/6-102(2).
