3What is your place of residence? Form previous questions I believe you spend quite some time in the US, but I don’t know if you are a resident there. If you are, you are normally supposed to convert your French licence to a local one after some time (IIRC 6 months, though details may vary).– jcaronCommented Dec 13, 2021 at 23:36

2According to Wikipedia “an international driving permit shall only be issued by the contracting party in whose territory the holder has their normal residence and that issued the domestic driving licence or that recognised the driving licence issued by another contracting party”. So you need to be resident in the US for them (the AAA) to issue an IDP, and then the IDP is no longer valid there. Also note that many countries recognise the original licence directly, they don’t need an IDP.– jcaronCommented Dec 13, 2021 at 23:46

1If you are not a US resident then you can apparently apply for a renewal from the French authorities remotely. See service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F34812 for details depending on your specific case. Note that the IDP will be sent to your local embassy/consulate, apparently.– jcaronCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 0:19

@jcaron thanks for the great information! You're welcome to post it as answer. I'm a US resident but I also know a French resident currently in the US for the winter vacation with the same question, so I'm interested in both cases.– Franck DernoncourtCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 3:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. air-travel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
