Yes you can. I write auto insurance all the time, as well as property insurance for Foreign drivers, property owners and investors. Visitors to the U.S.A. commonly have a need for auto insurance while in the states, especially when here for extended periods of time where it makes little sense to buy it by the day from a rental car agency. Almost every major insurer in America and even smaller ones have no problem insuring a foreign driver.

Just show the Insurance Agent your license issued to you in your home country or you can show them an international drivers license that is valid in all United Nations member States.

Yes you can buy auto insurance using you international driving license. I know this because i have done it. Just call up an insurance broker, tell them your situation and they can usually help. As far as i know State Farm are the only ones that require a State License.

We are from Norway and have insurance through Progressive for our automobile and our travel trailer. You can fill everything out on-line and receive your policy information, proof of insurance (card) and everything in the mail. (we have a U.S. mailing address)

Can you change qatar license to international?

As far as I can determine, there is no "international driving permit" that is independent of your drivers license. There are several "international driving permit" forms available from Automobile Associations and such, but these are basically translations of the information shown on your domestic drivers license into several different languages. They must be used in conjunction with your home drivers license; they have no validity on their own.

Often out of state tickets will not show up on your license if you just pay them. Failing to pay a ticket brings it to the attention of the state, and it gets put into the state drivers license database. Once that happens, the insurance companies get a copy of it and it affects your insurance rates.
