Hi, just wondering if somebody here knew; I’m 17 and currently hold a US driving license. In a few weeks I will be going to Sweden and am wondering if my US license will be valid there? I know the permit age there is 18, but also that Sweden will recognize US class D licenses for up to a year. Does anybody know if I can drive there?

Your experience driving in the EU will be recognized in Ontario. You will be able to skip the G1 (learners phase) if you "self declare" 12 months or more of driving experience.

Here's an excerpt form the Ontario Government web site -

"Applicants who self–declare more than 12 months of driving experience at the time of application are required to present written authentication of their out-of-country driving experience from the originating licensing agency, or from the Embassy, Consulate or High Commissioners’ offices representing the licensing jurisdiction."

You can learn more by going to the Drivershandbook.com web site and selecting Ontario

There's a link on exchanging an out-of-country license.

In which countries I can drive using my Dubai driving license?

An International Driving Permit is just a translation of your regular license. It is NOT a license. So, Tiago, you can drive whatever your regular license allows you to drive.

With a B IDP type, which kind of vehicles can you drive?

International Driving licenses are usually administered by a national auto club.

If the language on your driving license is NOT the same as the language in the country you are going to you are well advices to get the IDL

Chad, you CAN drive a private car on your U.S. license in Italy, but you need to obtain an International Driving Permit before you go.

Most states have a grace period of at least 60 days, some up to a year. We've been told by car rental companies that if a license is in English they normally don't require an international permit.

Mikka,

Almost all U.S. states and Canadian provinces accept the EU license. However, if your license is in Polish then you should get an English Translation. I believe some consulates may do this.
