Best for most official and administrative uses. A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate and complete and is supplied with an appropriate certification statement.

Notarised Translation

A notarised translation adds an extra layer of verification. This is typically requested when a receiving party need formal confirmation of the translator’s identity/signature.

Sworn Translation

Some countries require sworn translators appointed/recognised by courts or official bodies. If your destination authority specifies “sworn translation”, tell us the country and purpose.

Use a foreign licence for an application or official process abroad
Support an immigration or identity-related submission
Provide proof of driving credentials for an employer or insurer
Apply for an exchange/conversion process with local authorities
Provide documentation alongside an international driving requirement

If you’re not sure whether you need a translation or an IDP, we’ll help you choose the right route before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to translate the front and back of my driving licence?

In most cases, yes. The back often contains categories, restrictions, codes, issuing details, and security annotations. If you send both sides, we’ll translate both so nothing important is missed.

What makes a translation “certified”?

A certified translation includes the translated document plus a signed certification statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in the language pair.

Can I translate my own driver’s licence?

Some authorities reject self-translations, especially for official submissions. Using a professional service with certification reduces the risk of delays and rejections.

Is this the same as an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

No. An IDP is a separate document issued by authorised bodies in your country. A certified translation is a translation of your existing licence. Which one you need depends on where and why you’re using it.

Will my translated licence be accepted everywhere?

Requirements vary by country and authority. We format the translation for official use and include certification, but it’s still smart to check any special requirements (e.g., notarisation, hard copy, or specific formatting).

What do you need from me to start?

A clear photo/scan of the licence (front and back), the target language, where it will be used, and any deadline. If the licence is blurry or cropped, it can slow things down.

Can you translate a driving permit or provisional/learner licence?

Yes. We can translate driving permits, provisional/learner licences, and related driving documents—just send what you have and we’ll confirm what’s included.

Do you translate stamps, signatures, and handwritten notes?

Yes. We translate all visible stamps/seals/notes and label them clearly, because these are often what reviewers look for.

How fast can I get my driver license translation?

Turnaround depends on language pair and document clarity. If you’re under time pressure, tell us your deadline when you message us and we’ll confirm the fastest available option.

Can you match spelling across my other documents (passport, birth certificate, etc.)?

Yes. If you’re submitting a pack, we can align transliteration and name spelling across documents for consistency—helpful for immigration and official identity checks.
