[2023] Patente internazionale - LEGGERE LA PRIMA PAGINA, GRAZIE!

[Piso86]

Si, esatto. Io rifarei la patente nuova solo per non avere più l'indirizzo vecchio, non per avere quello nuovo. Mi porterò dietro il foglio del cambio residenza in caso facciano storie...

[al3cs]

Secondo me puoi anche evitare, a meno che non te ne fai fare una traduzione in inglese!

A loro interessa che la patente sia valida e che corrisponda al passaporto, e sul passaporto l'indirizzo non c'è: che abiti in via Verdi o in Via Rossi non è che conti granché.

[al3cs]

Prendendo spunto dalla famosa circolare di cui abbiamo parlato qualche tempo fa viewtopic.php?p=541830#p541830, e dagli interventi di pisolo e room, negli ultimi due mesi ho perso un po' di tempo a verificare, stato per stato, quale sia la reale normativa adottata in materia negli USA e non quella che adottano secondo il nostro MIT.

Vi risparmio tutti i dettagli della ricerca, riportando solo il risultato finale: buona lettura!

P.S. Il caso della Florida secondo me meritava di essere raccontato nei dettagli...

Foreign visitors can legally drive a car in the USA for up to 12 months using their home driver’s licence. However, an IDP will have more credibility with U.S. traffic police, especially if your home licence doesn’t have a photo or isn’t in English. Your automobile association at home can issue an IDP, valid for one year, for a small fee. Always carry your home licence together with the IDP.

ALABAMA

Valid driver's license or non-driver photo ID from your home state or country.

Visas for all travelers, including minors, in your party (if visiting from outside the United States).

You may legally drive in Arizona using a valid driver license from another country. An international driving license or permit is not required, but it is recommended because it can be printed in English and used in conjunction with the driver license from the other country. If an international driving license or permit is used alone, it must be issued by a country other than the United States. Vehicle rental companies may have additional requirements.

ARKANSAS

Risponde l'Highway Patrol Divison Commander

As a tourist, the 1949 Geneva Convention agreement between the United States and Italy allows you to travel in the U.S. with your valid Italian driver’s license for a period not to exceed one year. Arkansas does not require you to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP); however purchasing one is recommended, the IDP is a document that provides important information from your driver’s license in eleven different languages, including English

CALIFORNIA

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm#international

The State of California does not recognize an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a valid driver license. California does recognize a valid driver license that is issued by a foreign jurisdiction (country, state, territory) of which the license holder is a resident.

The IDP is only a translation of information contained on a person’s foreign driver license and is not required to operate a motor vehicle in California. Citations issued to a person in California who has an IDP, but does not have a California driver license will be placed on the Department of Motor Vehicle database.

The IDP is also called an International Driver License, International License, etc.

An International Driver Permit (IDP) is essentially an English translation of a foreign language driver's license issued by a foreign country. These permits can only be obtained in the country which issued the actual license.

Students and Visitors to Connecticut:

An IDP is not considered a valid license. It must accompany the valid foreign license. Connecticut permits a student or visitor to operate a motor vehicle in Connecticut for a period of up to one year with his or her foreign license. If the license is in a language other than English or Spanish, the license must be accompanied by an IDP which serves as an English translation of the foreign license.

The permit gives license details in several languages. If stopped by the police, you need to show both your valid driver’s lines and international driving permit.

TENNESSEE

http://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/op/2008/op/op25.pdf

1. Does Tennessee recognize international driver licenses?

1. There is no “international driver license.” Tennessee does recognize driver licenses issued by other countries. [...]

The International Driver Permit is not required under any Tennessee statute. Since the International Driver Permit is an internationally standardized translation and verification of license validity, it can be used by law enforcement as an aid to determine a person’s identity and the validity of their foreign-issued license. However, an International Driver Permit is neither required to drive legally in this State nor serves as a valid substitute for a license issued by this State or any other state or country.

TEXAS

An individual can legally drive with a valid, unexpired driver license from another state or country for up to 90 days after moving to Texas.

UTAH

Risponde il Department of Public Safety - Utah Highway Patrol

Utah State Code 53-3-202 outlines the licensing requirements for operating a motor vehicle in Utah. It states:

53-3-202

(1) A person may not drive a motor vehicle on a highway in this state unless the person is:

[...]

(d) a nonresident who is at least 16 years of age and younger than 18 years of age who has in the nonresident's immediate possession a valid license certificate issued to the nonresident in the nonresident's home state or country and is driving in the class or classes identified on the home state license certificate, except those persons referred to in Part 6, Drivers' License Compact, of this chapter;

(e) a nonresident who is at least 18 years of age and who has in the nonresident's immediate possession a valid license certificate issued to the nonresident in the nonresident's home state or country if driving in the class or classes identified on the home state license certificate, except those persons referred to in Part 6, Drivers' License Compact, of this chapter;

[...]

An international drivers license will not allow you to drive in Utah unless it is accompanied by a valid driver license from your country of residence. Without this, the international driver license has no bearing. According to the statute above, an international driver license is not required, only a valid license from your state or country of origin. Please review the above code and verify that you are in compliance with the other requirements, including age and endorsements.

VERMONT

Risponde il Law Enforcement Liaison

An individual from Italy, who is visiting the United States as a bona fide tourist, can legally drive using their domestic driver’s license for a period not to exceed 1 year from date of arrival. Should this tourist accept a job or attend school, they would lose tourist status and be required to obtain a state driver license. Individuals are “advised” to carry an International Driving Permit (basically this is an English translation of their driver license).

VIRGINIA

http://www.dmv.state.va.us/general/outsideva/international.html

An international driver's license or permit is a foreign translation of your existing DMV driver's license for use when you are traveling outside the United States. It is invalid alone, but can be helpful when accompanied by a valid driver's license.

These licenses are issued by your local AAA but are not issued to persons whose driving privilege is suspended or revoked. Beware of offers from entities selling an international driver's license that cannot be suspended or revoked. These licenses are NOT VALID and are not authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Visitors or military personnel holding an international license issued by a foreign country may operate a vehicle in this country, but only if the international license is accompanied by a valid driver's license issued by the person's home country.

WASHINGTON

http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/moving.html

If you’re visiting Washington State, you may use your out-of-country driver license for up to 1 year.

WEST VIRGINIA

Risponde il Division of Motor Vehicles

You will need to possess the Italian driver’s license along with an International driver’s license. The International license will serve as an interpretation of the Italian driver’s license for law enforcement officials. You must carry both licenses when operating a vehicle on the highways. The International license is valid in the state of WV for ninety (90) calendar days.

WISCONSIN

http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/foreign.htm

In addition to having a valid foreign driver's license, visitors are advised to carry an International Driving Permit obtained in their home country, as authorized by the 1943/1949 or 1968 conventions, or attach an English translation to their national driving license. The International Driving Permit is translated into the nine official languages of the United Nations, including English, and serves as a translation to be used in conjunction with the visitor's valid driver's license. It can be useful in emergencies, such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved.

WYOMING

http://www.dot.state.wy.us/home/driver_license_records.html

Drivers with licenses issued from another country may drive in Wyoming as long as they have a valid driver license from their country. An International Driving Permit is recommended but not mandatory. This permit translates your driver license, so if needed, the proper authorities will be able to ascertain the information on your driver license.

un inchino

[quizzomane]

Durante il mio viaggio non ho avuto alcun problema senza patente internazionale (non mi hanno mai fermato però). All'Alamo di San Francisco, tutto liscio sia per la mia patente (recente stile carta di credito) sia per la vecchia patente cartacea di mia mamma.

[Cantillon]

Tanto per onor di cronaca, fatto il check in on line Alamo e mi arriva la mail di conferma con queste note:

"A valid driver's license from the customer's country of residence is required and must be presented at time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period.

If the driver's license is in a language other than English, an International Driver's Permit is required along with the driver's license.

Exceptions:

Japanese travelers may use the Japanese Driver's License Translation Service, which replaces the need for an International Driver's Permit.

At California, Nevada and Phoenix-area airports and rental locations, renters with driver's licenses issued outside of the United States or its territories must produce a valid Passport. US Territories include American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Midway Islands."

Non conosco molto bene l'inglese ma stavolta si parla solo di lingua diversa dall'inglese e non c'è la nota dei linguaggi con lo stesso carattere dell'inglese, quindi sembra che sia richiesta la patente internazionale....

.... però nelle exceptions al secondo rigo quando si parla del passaporto c'è una informazione aggiuntiva. Questa vuol dire che:

- è sufficiente la sola patente italiana + passaporto?

oppure

- in aggiunta alla patente internazionale vogliono il passaporto?

E poi il fatto che parlino solo di California, Nevada and Phoenix sembra che escluda tutti gli altri stati....boh!

[al3cs]

Hai provato a leggere qui viewtopic.php?p=305342#p305342 o in prima pagina?

[Cantillon]

Come non detto...

[ALI868]

Non che la mia esperienza aggiunga qualcosa di nuovo a quanto già detto dai guru, ma sono appena tornata, ho noleggiato e cambiato diversi stati. Avevo la patente in scadenza (settembre), ho cambiato residenza per cui indirizzo vecchio.. e ho chiesto: NESSUN PROBLEMA al noleggio!

[Piso86]

Ottimo. Anch'io andrò la con la patente con indirizzo vecchio. Altro quesito. Io ho la doppia cittadinanza tedesca-italiana. Per questioni economiche ho solo il passaporto tedesco (costa meno e niente bolli) mentre la patente è italiana. Non dovrebbero esserci problemi spero..

[donald76]

Parto a metà luglio torno il 4 agosto e mi sono ricordato che la patente mi scade a metà settembre

Posso avere problemi?

[al3cs]

In genere no, comunque controlla che l'agenzia presso cui noleggi non richieda un minimo di validità residua.

[donald76]

letto note sul sito di autoeurope

dice che è necessario avere la patente valida fino a fine noleggio

quindi tutto ok

[Bnx]

Letto tutto, aggiornamenti di Al3cs compresi, oltretutto, noleggerò in South Dakota, il quale non lascia dubbi alle interpretazioni poiché c'è scritto chiaramente "International Licenses are not mandatory in South Dakota", ma allora, perché nelle rental policies di Alamo, riportano testualmente:

A valid driver's license from the customer's country of residence is required and must be presented at time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period.

If the driver's license is in a language other than English, an International Driver's Permit is required along with the driver's license.

???

[al3cs]

Chiedi ad Alamo.

Ci credi che dallo stesso giorno (8 luglio), appena letto questo tuo messaggio gli ho scritto, ma debbono ancora rispondermi?

[acfraine]

ci mettono qualche giorno ma rispondono Ben

[al3cs]

Credimi, non mi stupisce. Per ottenere le risposte riportate in prima pagina ad alcuni DMV ho dovuto scrivere diverse volte, altri mi hanno rimbalzato ad ulteriori interlocutori, qualcuno non mi ha risposto affatto: figurati se mi sorprende che la Alamo si prenda qualche giorno per rispondere!
