Frequently Asked Questions

What is a certified driving licence translation?

A certified driving licence translation is a professional translation of your foreign driving licence into English, accompanied by a formal declaration from a qualified translator confirming its accuracy. The translator includes their credentials, signature, and date. This type of translation is legally recognised and accepted by UK authorities including the DVLA, DVSA, car rental companies, and insurance providers.

Yes. Our certified translations are completed by native-speaking certified translators. We have a 100% acceptance rate with the DVLA and all UK government bodies.

Our standard service delivers your certified translation within 24 hours. If you need it faster, our Express service delivers within 6 hours, and our Same-Day service delivers within 2-3 hours. All timeframes are measured from when we receive both your document and payment.
No, you don’t need to send your original driving licence. Simply take a clear, high-quality photo or scan of both the front and back of your licence and upload it through our website or send it by email. We recommend ensuring all text is legible and the photo is well-lit without glare.
A certified translation includes the translator’s declaration and credentials, which is sufficient for the DVLA, car hire, and insurance purposes. A notarised translation goes a step further — the translator swears an oath before a Notary Public, who then adds their seal and signature. Notarisation is typically only required for international legal proceedings or when submitting documents to foreign embassies. For most driving licence purposes in the UK, certified translation is all you need.
Yes, we can translate driving licences from any country and in any language. We work with over 120 languages and have experience with driving licence formats from every corner of the world, including countries with non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Hindi, etc.).
Yes, we offer physical printed copies sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery (next working day). This is included free with our Express and Same-Day services, or available for an additional £5 with the Standard service. The physical copy is printed on high-quality paper with the translator’s original wet-ink signature.
