Driver's license translation, certified and complete
A license is two sides of a card: personal data on the front, categories and dates on the back. Both are translated on one page, with your name as in your passport and the categories kept as printed, not converted to US classes.
Upload the document

Two documents or ten, the same rules: price by word count, one file back.
Order NowSmall card, many fields
Licenses follow a numbered field layout, and the reviewer, whether at a DMV counter, an insurer or an employer, looks at specific fields: date of first issue, expiry, categories and restrictions.
Field by field
Each numbered field is translated in the same position, front and back, so the English page can be laid next to the card.
First issue, current issue, expiry
The three dates are converted to the US format and kept apart. The date of first issue is what insurers use to count driving experience.
Categories as printed
Categories such as B, C or BE are kept as letters and their descriptions translated. We do not map them to US classes; that is the DMV's decision.
Latin spelling on the card
Cards already show a Latin version of the name, which may differ from your passport. The translation uses your passport spelling and notes the spelling printed on the card.
Plastic card or older license, both are one page
Current licenses are plastic cards with numbered fields; older ones are laminated cards or paper booklets with a different layout. Either way, front and back go on one page.
Plastic card
Most common today- A credit-card-size card with a photo, numbered fields on the front and a category table on the back
- Name in the national language and in Latin letters, date and place of birth, dates of issue and expiry, the issuing authority, the license number and the categories with their dates
- Both sides, field by field, with the categories kept as letters and the restriction codes explained
- Asked for by the DMV, insurers, car rental companies and employers, and by USCIS as a supporting identity document
Send the front and the back as two straight photos or a scan; the small text on the back must be readable.
Older laminated or paper license
Issued before the card- A laminated card of a different size or a paper booklet with a photo, sometimes with a separate page of categories and stamps
- The same personal data, the categories opened with dates, the issuing office and often a place for the previous license number
- Both sides or every page with an entry, with the layout mirrored so the fields can be found on the original
- Asked for to show driving experience from the date of first issue, usually by insurers
Send every side or page with text on it; if the license has expired, send it anyway with the current one.
Both sides, every field and every code
Restriction and condition codes
Codes for glasses, automatic transmission or other conditions are translated and explained, not copied as abbreviations.
Issuing authority and its code
The traffic police unit or service center and its numeric code are translated and kept as printed, so the license can be verified.
Stamps and stickers on older licenses
Older laminated and paper licenses carry stamps from the issuing office and sometimes a sticker with a note. Each is translated in place.
Category dates, one by one
Each category has its own opening date and, on newer cards, an expiry. All are converted to the US format with the original kept.
One translation, accepted where you need to file
The same certified file works for immigration, courts, universities and employers. Say who it is for when you order and the certificate is worded for that office.
USCIS
Green card, citizenship and asylum filings. Certification statement on every page set.
Immigration courts
Same certified translation, laid out page by page so the clerk can compare it with the original.
Universities and WES / ECE
Admissions offices and credential evaluators get the certified English file with the original attached.
Employers and licensing boards
HR departments get the translation with the certificate, ready to attach to an application.

Price My DocumentDriver's license translation, the questions we hear most
Will the DMV accept this translation?
The translation is certified and formatted for official use. Whether a foreign license can be exchanged or credited is decided by the DMV of your state; check its rules before you apply.
Do you translate both sides?
Yes, both sides on one page, and the price is for one page.
The Latin name on my license is spelled differently from my passport. Which one do you use?
Your passport spelling, with a translator's note showing the spelling printed on the license so nobody thinks they are two people.
I also have an international driving permit. Do I need to translate it?
Usually not; the permit is already multilingual. If an office insists, send it and the stamped pages are translated at the same price as any other document.
How much does it cost and how fast is it?
From $23.70 for the license, both sides included, certification included. Usually ready the next business day; the date is confirmed before you pay.
