For citizens of the United States, the U.S. Government requires you apply for an International Driving Permit with either the American Automobile Association (AAA) or the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). Again, you must be 18 years old or older with a valid U.S. Driver's license to apply for an IDP. The International Driver’s License comes in the form of a plastic card accompanied by a passport-sized booklet containing the 8 most common languages used around the world. It is an important document for motorists traveling overseas, closing any language barriers and communication gaps. You may use your country's driver license as proof of driving experience if you have an International Driver Permit issued by your country or if your country is a member of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic and your license is translated into English by a consulate or an MVC approved translator. International Driving Authority offers you three price categories: if you choose 1 year International Driving Permit, it will cost you $39.99. If you prefer to apply for a 2 year International Driving Permit, you will have to pay $54.99. If you want your International Driving License to be valid for 3 years, it will cost you $69.99.

What Is a Hardship License (Limited Driving Privilege)?
If you receive a traffic ticket for 'Driving While Suspended' or 'Driving While Revoked,' 12 points will be added to your driving record and your Missouri driver's license will be revoked for 1 year. If your driver’s license has been revoked or suspended, you may be able to get a Limited Driving Privilege (sometimes called a 'Hardship License' or LDP) so you can drive to work, the grocery store, etc.
How to Get a Hardship License in Missouri
International Driving License For 10 Years Child
You must file an application with the Missouri Department of Revenue to request a Limited Driving Privilege (Hardship License). The application form for a Limited Driving Privilege can be found on the Missouri Department of Revenue's website (it's Form #4595) or you can pick one up at any Missouri DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) office.
Along with the application for a Limited Driving Privilege, you must also send a 'compliance letter.' A compliance letter is proof from the court that you paid the fine and court costs for your Driving While Suspended ticket. You must specifically request a compliance letter from the court; it will not be mailed to you automatically after you pay your fine.
Send the compliance letter to the Driver License Bureau in Jefferson City, MO, along with your application for Limited Driving Privilege and proof that you have obtained insurance. (This is sometimes called SR-22 insurance, because that's the name of the form that is filed. Your insurance agent can file the SR-22 form with the Department of Revenue for you.)

Your Hardship License Will be Revoked if You Receive a Conviction for Speeding
How To Get An International Driver's License
Your Hardship License will be revoked if you receive a conviction for speeding or any other traffic violation. If you get the ticket amended to a non-moving, no-point violation, you won't lose your Hardship License. If instead you choose to plead guilty to the traffic violation, you will lose your Hardship License and you will have to re-apply for a Hardship License.

How to Get a Hardship License If You Have a 5-Year or 10-Year Denial of Driving Privileges in Missouri
If you have a 5-year or 10-year denial of driving privileges, you will have to hire an attorney to file a petition with the associate circuit court where you live or work in order to obtain a Limited Driving Privilege. If you have certain types of convictions on your driving record, or if you have already received a Limited Driving Privilege within the past 5 years, you will not be eligible to obtain one. Click here for more information about obtaining a Missouri Limited Driving Privilege.
*Please Note: As of July 5, 2013, Missouri law changed, making it easier for some drivers to obtain a Hardship License. For example, if you have a 10-year denial, you would normally have to wait 3 years to apply for a Hardship License, but now you may only have to wait 45 days. You can contact the Missouri Department of Revenue at (573) 751-4475 for more information and to ask if you are eligible for a Hardship License.
