Oddly enough, no car rental place has ever checked. Supposedly the police care, but I haven't seen much evidence of that either. Given they only cost $25, I keep one with me anyway.

Fair enough. If you’ve already jumped through the hoops of getting a passport, that’s a trivial extra expense. Use it one time ever and you’d be pretty happy to have spent it.

In Korea last year I was asked. And they did check both the IDP and my original driving license, as they should have.
