Driving Licence

Claire Bennett — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 20:32:02 +0000

A driving licence is an essential document proving your ability to drive. An official translation of your driving licence may be required to hire a vehicle abroad, to exchange your licence in another country, or when moving abroad for professional or personal reasons. Produced by a certified translator from a certified copy of your licence (which you can obtain from your local town hall), this translation guarantees that your document will be accepted by the relevant authorities.

Language choices

Several options are available in the drop-down menu. For any other language combination, please request a quote.

Available options

The following options can be added depending on your needs:

Legalisation/certification of signature: in some cases, a certified translation of your documents is not enough. Legalisation may be required if the translated document is intended for foreign authorities. Legalisation consists of authenticating the signature of the sworn translator. To do this, the translator must sign the certified translation in the presence of a notary public or mayor. The notary public or mayor will add their stamp to the translation in order to ‘legalise’ the translator’s signature. This formality must therefore be carried out by the translator. Request a quote to add this option.

Extra copy: useful if you are asked to provide several copies.
Urgent request (< 24 h): your order is prioritised and delivered within 24 hours of order placement, not including weekends and bank holidays. This option is not available if legalisation is required due to the deadlines imposed by the mayor or notary public.
Send and receive the originals by post: recommended if the authorities require the original document and its translation, with the translator’s stamp and signature, to be sent by post. This can be selected by choosing “postal delivery AND email delivery” on the check-out page.

Quick and easy order placement

Select the language, number of pages and options
Upload your document as a PDF or clear image.
The translation is produced, certified and delivered by email in PDF format. If the original paper copy is required, please select “Send and receive the originals by post”.

Mandatory certification text

All translations specify whether they were drawn up “from the original” or “from the scanned document” presented to me, depending on the document provided. The translator’s signature, stamp and a unique ‘ne varietur’ number appear on each page of the translation and the original document attached thereto.

Deadlines and delivery

The standard deadline of 3 working days applies once the order has been confirmed. The urgent option allows for faster delivery. You will always receive a certified PDF by email, with the option of receiving the original paper document by post if you have chosen the option to send the originals.

Other documents

We also provide translations of any other official document requiring certification by a sworn translator. Your documents can be grouped together when placing your order to simplify this process.

ID Card

An identity card is an official document that proves your identity and nationality.
