You arrive at your desired abroad destination and get off the plane. Next, you pick up your bags and find the car rental office where you have a reservation for a rent-a-car. Are you going to be ready when they ask you to present your international driver’s license? This is all too often a problem, considering it’s either required or strongly recommended by more than 150 countries for foreign drivers.

Read the recommendations below for more information regarding pre-travel preparation.

What Is an International Driving Permit?

First things first, it is not a license. Your real license is what you will have to keep with your international one. The permit is a small booklet about the size of a passport, which is issued by the American Automobile Association (AAA) or the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA).

The permit is a document that translates your American-issued driver’s license into ten different languages, which can be used abroad. It gives you the right to drive and operate a vehicle in any of the countries that accept it.

Do I Still Need One If It’s Not Required?

It is recommended that you still get one, just in case. Without an international driving permit, you may not be able to communicate effectively with authorities if you are pulled over and you don’t speak the language.

What If I Drive Without One?

The penalties for driving without an international permit can depend on the country and its laws. Common penalties include fines, jail time, and deportation.

How Long Is It Valid?

An intentional driving permit is valid for 12 months from the date of the issue.

How Do I Get One?

Head to your AAA branch with two passport-sized pictures, and fill out an application, either online or in person. Be sure to also bring your driver’s license. The cost is $20. If you’re out of the country, you can apply by mail, but it can take up to six weeks to process, and it comes with a hefty $75-100 shipping fee.

Once you have your intentional driving permit, you are all ready for your abroad adventure!

For most of us, it is unlikely that we will ever watch our grandparents rock it out on stage, or fight fictional crime on the big screen like the grandchildren of celebrities. You would probably never even know these celebrities had grandchildren, but you may wish you were their grandchild!

Donny Osmond may be famous for his good looks and singing talents, but it is well-known that he comes from a big family. Away from performing with his seven siblings, Donny married and became a father to five sons. It is no surprise then that the Osmond family are continuing to grow, and Donny is already a grandfather of ten – nine boys and one girl! He first became a grandpa in 2005, and we can only imagine the sweet sounding lullabies he has graced all his grandchildren with.

The Osbourne’s popularity grew after the release of their own reality show, which showed a lot of cursing and content of an adult nature. We now hope that is a thing of the past since the Prince of Darkness and his ever so vibrant wife, Sharon, are now grandparents to Pearl and Andy from their son Jack Osbourne. Ozzy is already a grandpa to four children from a previous marriage, so we can imagine things get a little crazy when the grandkids come to stay.

Whoopi Goldberg is an award-winning actress, known for featuring in many films and being a true Hollywood treasure. However, Goldberg is a grandmother and has been for over twenty years. Having had her daughter, Alexandrea when she was 18-years-old, Alexandrea had her own daughter when she was just 16. That means that Whoopi has been a grandmother since she was 34-years-old. Now a grandmother of three, one of Alexandrea’s daughters had a child of her own, making Whoopi a great-grandmother.

Jude and Truman are the young tots that Martha loves to spend time with, and they would often visit her on the set of her cooking programs.

If you’re starting to think Cee Lo Green may be a lot older than you originally thought, then no need. Green is, in fact, 43, and the Gnarls Barkley star became a grandfather when he was just 35. For many, this is the time just to start having kids of your own, let alone grandchildren. However, Green’s stepdaughter gave birth to a little boy when she was 20-years-old, making Cee Lo a young grandfather. It will probably be a while till the young boy hears his grandfathers hit single.

Speaking to Access Reporter following the young tot’s birth, he said, “I love being granddaddy, granddaddy Jim,” he continued. “I just get a lot of joy, a lot of joy from that little boy.”

It must be cool to say your grandmother once performed with Beyonce, but then again it must be pretty cool to say your grandma is actually Tina Turner who Beyonce performed with. Even at 78-years-old, Turner is envied for her toned legs and can still rock a stage when she is set to perform. Not many grandmothers can say they can do the same as Turner, but the legendary singer has two grandchildren from her son, and they certainly have a superstar grandmother.

Billy Crystal must have been proud to show off his work to his grandkids once they were old enough to understand what he did for a living and see him in films. Having confessed that he does ‘enjoy being around the kids,’ when speaking of his grandchildren, he mentioned, “When they understood that I was Mike Wazowski in Monsters Inc, I had to talk like him for six months. It drove me crazy. Then they saw The Princess Bride, and I had to be Miracle Max for six months.”

Having made a name for herself from the trashy, yet heavily popular, TV show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, June Shannon is featured alongside her young daughter on the reality hit. However, June has another daughter, Anna Shannon who gave birth to a baby girl in 2013 named Kaitlyn.

During the same time Brett Favre was playing in the NFL for the Vikings, his daughter had given birth to a son in 2010. At the time, the NFL pointed out that there were no other current players who could say they held the same grandparent status.

He was blessed with another grandchild in 2012, a girl named Beatrice.

She is the center of drama on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Nene Leakes likes to get her voice across. She perhaps would have had to watch her voice levels, however, when her son had a baby girl in 2012 named Bri’Asia. Any trip to grandma’s house is sure going to be interesting since NeNe is known to enjoy pole dancing or a dinner party with her equally dramatic group of friends. Let’s just hope the number of cuss words has been reduced at least.

Trying to imagine Snoop Dogg as a grandfather may be a hard thing to do. However, it’s time to believe it because the rapper is, in fact, a proud grandfather to his grandson, Zion.

Just as Snoop Dogg is not afraid to hide what goes on in his life, he was sure not shy when it came to introducing the world to little, baby Zion.

The My Wife and Kids actor is officially a grandfather after his son Mike Wayans welcomed a baby girl named Ava Marie in 2014. Mike shares his daughter with Vanessa Simmons who is Rev Run’s eldest daughter. Therefore, the Run D.M.C. rapper, along with Damon Wayans, is also a grandfather. This is the first grandchild for both famous men, and that child has certainly been born into a huge family from both sides. Ava Marie has also been blessed by not one, but two, super cool grandfathers.

He is best known to the public as Cedric the Entertainer, but for one little girl, he is known as “GrandCeddy.” Cedric became a grandfather when his first granddaughter Kylo Faith was born in 2016. While he is “GrandCeddy” to her, she is “Doll” for him, probably because of how tiny she was when she was born. The Barbershop star is certainly someone who is going to spoil his young granddaughter and provide her with a huge amount of entertainment; we are sure this is one great grandpa to have.

The gospel singing couple has been married for 30 years and welcomed four children together. While they have achieved great success in the entertainment world, they have remained devout Christians and shown how important family is to them.
