The IDP must be obtained in your home country before you travel - exactly how will depend on your country but Google should be able to tell you how to obtain one. This is not a license in itself, but in effect translation of your home-country license into English (and several other languages). If your home-country license is not in English then you will need to make use of one of the other features of the Vienna Convention - the "International Drivers Permit". If your home-country license is in English, or contains an English translation on it (as many EU licenses do) then that is all that you will need. However there then becomes the problem of proving you have a valid license. However, most US states accept most all foreign licenses, with the exception of the state of Georgia, which requires an international driving permit. The US is NOT a signatory to the convention, although most (all?) European countries are. Under the Vienna Convention of Road Traffic, drivers licenses from one country are formally accepted by other countries - as long as both countries are signatories to the convention.
