The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says visitors from countries that signed the 1949 Geneva or 1943 Inter-American road traffic conventions may drive on a valid home license for up to one year from arrival. It advises them to carry an International Driving Permit or attach an English translation to the national license.
For immigration filings, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires every foreign-language document sent to USCIS to be accompanied by a full English translation, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, with a statement that the translator is competent in both languages.
