Is a California interim driver's license valid in NY, Iceland and Portugal?
I just got an interim drivers license from the state of California. They said the regular license should arrive in the mail in two weeks. However, I'm leaving the state in a few days to travel to New York, and after that, I'm leaving the country for a few weeks.
My question is two-fold:
- Will the interim license be valid in New York?
- Will the interim license be valid in another country? Specifically I'm curious about Iceland and Portugal.

Whether you're American or Canadian, your passport and driver's license are all you need in most European countries. However, some countries also require an International Driving Permit (IDP).
