There's only an International Driving Permit (that goes along with your licence), not an International Drivers License.

i just mentioned the delay as he mentioned it in the op. I got one just in case it made it easier to hire a car or something but didnt use it at all.

Re: Moving to USA, Driving licence
I just wondered why a UKC who's got a US or UK license would need an International license to drive in the UK.

IIRC, you can get the International Driver's Permit on the spot from the Post Office at Trafalgar Sq in London or the AA office at Dover Port (if you happen to be near there already).
Poster said she got it in the UK, not for the UK. Still not necessarily that useful but it's only a fiver or so.
