This is an email solicitation going about that came to my attention. The fact that this service is promoting alternate attainment of IDs and the email return address of DirectorOfOperations@nilepower.net (Egyptian?)raises some concern.

It may be nothing more than vanity drivers licenses issued for fun or a scam, but I did recall reading that vanity passports issued by The Conch Republic from the Florida Keys had gained the interest of suspected al-Qaeda.

If the lack of history and geographic knowledge among Americans, that is routinely made fun of by Jay Leno is true then I can see how these documents can be used to slip people into the States.

I could be paranoid, so I am putting this as a vanity for FreeRepublic members to discuss.

A Google search reveals that Nile Power a/k/a www.nilepower.net is the website of a company called White Nile Batteries Co. Ltd. Something smells fishy here, IMO.

So this is driven by ISO, the same folks that drive the ISO9002 Quality System standard? Amazing.
Just another way to may money by telling others what to do and how to do it. It's European. . .

What they don't tell you is that in order for the driver's license to be valid, it must be accompanied by a valid driver's license from your home country. Basically, all an International Driver's license does is let you drive in other countries if you have a valid license at home. They are not good in your country of origin.

  My understanding of the law relating to the IDP is slightly different. The IDP doesn't "let you drive in other countries" ... it's a convenience if you are driving in a country that uses another language. The IDP is supposed to provide a multilingual translation of the information that should be on your official drivers license (hair color, height, required to wear glasses, etc.), so that if you're pulled over, you don't have to wait in jail while the local cops take their time finding a missionary to translate your home driver license.

But the IDP is supposed to come from the same country that issued your official drivers license; in the US the State Dept has authorized just two organizations, the AAA and the National Touring Assn, to issue IDPs, for $10 or thereabouts ... and they insist on taking the data off your real drivers license. The IDP doesn't work if it's not in tandem with your real drivers license. And in the US, at least, if you show cops a drivers license in one name and an IDP in another name, you can expect your travel plans to be seriously disrupted. Contrary to the claims made by the internet con men - who are mostly peddling wildly overpriced IDPs issued by third world travel agencies (and sometimes not even genuine IDPs but counterfeits) - an IDP does not make you immune to traffic laws, does not make you immune to arrest, does not work in the absence of a real drivers license, etc.
