많은분들이 이점에 관해서 궁금해 하시는데... 정보가 오락가락하는것 같아서 몇자 적습니다. 일단은 제가 살고 있는 뉴저지와 뉴욕을 기준으로 말씀드립니다.   <A href="http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Licenses/Visitors.htm">아래의</A> 정보는 뉴저지 공식 DMV홈피에서 옮겨온정보입니다.   한국의 면허증과....한국에서 발급받은 국제면허증...그리고 이를 영어로 번역해서 공증을 받은 서류를 지참하고 운전을 할수 있다고 나와있습니다. 국제면허증은 한국에서 발급받으실수 있습니다. 영문서류 공증은...미국에 오셔서 주 정부 DMV에서 지정한곳에서 공증을 받으실수 있습니다.       Visitors with foreign driver licenses Foreign motorists with valid driver licenses from qualifying countries* are free to drive personal or rental cars while visiting the United States as a tourist and are advised to carry an International Driving Permit. Who is considered a tourist? If you are visiting the United States for a period not exceeding one year and are not authorized to work or attend school in the country.

In addition to having a valid foreign driver license, visitors are advised to carry an International Driving Permit or attach an English translation to their country's national driver license prior to their arrival in the United States. <UL> <LI>The International Driving Permit is translated into the nine official languages of the United Nations and serves as a translation to be used in conjunction with the visitor's valid driver license <LI>It is useful in emergencies such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved <LI>You must obtain this permit in your home country prior to your arrival in the U.S. </LI></UL> A foreign visitor must also display the International Distinguishing Sign if driving a foreign car.     아래는 뉴욕주 DMV 홈피에서 옮겨온 글입니다. 이역시 위의 뉴저지와 같은 내용입니다. 참고 하십시오.   <A name=International></A>International Driving Permit: An International Driving Permit is not a driver license. The permit only verifies that you hold a valid driver license in your home country. Your foreign driver license, not the International Driving Permit, allows you to drive in NYS. Contact the authorities in your home country to get an International Driving Permit. If you are not a resident of the US, you cannot apply for an International Driving Permit in the US. You are not required to have an International Driving Permit to drive in NYS, but the permit has value. The permit verifies, in several languages, that you have a valid foreign driver license. A police officer who cannot read the language on your foreign driver license can read the permit.
