Auto insurance companies may need a translated copy of your foreign driver's license to verify your driving record and issue a policy in the United States.

Important: A certified translation of a driver's license is for identity verification and documentation purposes only. It does not authorize you to drive in the United States or any other country. If you need to drive abroad, check whether an international driving permit (IDP) is required for your destination.
If you are moving to another country, you likely need an apostille on your FBI background check. We handle FBI background check and naturalization certificate apostilles with 7 to 10 business day turnaround.
A certified driver's license translation is priced with a live quote based on page count. A page is defined as 250 words or less. Most driver's licenses fit on a single page, so pricing is quick, with an exact live quote shown before you pay. Notarization is available as an add-on if required.

You should have both sides translated. The back of many foreign driver's licenses contains vehicle class information, restrictions, endorsements, and other details that may be relevant to your DMV application or legal proceeding. A complete translation of both sides ensures nothing is missed.
No. An international driving permit (IDP) is a separate document issued by your home country's automobile association that allows you to drive in foreign countries that recognize it. A certified translation of your driver's license is a different document used for identity verification, DMV applications, legal proceedings, and immigration purposes. A translation does not grant driving privileges.
We support 65+ languages including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, German, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Tagalog, Hindi, and many more. If your language is not listed on their site, contact them directly to confirm availability.
No. A certified translation of a foreign driver's license does not grant you driving privileges in the United States. It is used for identity verification only. To drive legally in the U.S., you need either a valid U.S. driver's license, a valid foreign license (rules vary by state), or an international driving permit paired with your foreign license. Check your state's DMV for specific requirements.
