If you hold a non-UK driving licence in a language other than English, you may need a certified English translation to exchange it for a UK licence, take out UK car insurance, hire a vehicle, or include it as an identity document in a UK visa application. Our driving licence translation service produces certified translations accepted by the DVLA, UK insurance companies, car hire firms, and UKVI. Most licences are a single page, so the standard price is £17.99 — and you will have your certified translation by email within 24 hours.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Will the DVLA accept your driving licence translation?

Yes. Our certified translations include the certification statement and translator credentials the DVLA requires when assessing a foreign driving licence for exchange or for use as supporting ID. The translation is supplied as a PDF you can post or upload alongside the DVLA application form.

Do UK insurance companies accept this translation?

Yes. UK insurers routinely accept certified English translations of foreign driving licences when arranging cover, renewing policies, or processing claims. The certification confirms accuracy and links the translation to the original licence.

How much does driving licence translation cost?

Most driving licences fit on a single page, so the standard price is £17.99. If your licence is unusually long or comes with a separate booklet, the quote you receive at upload will reflect the actual page count.

Do I need to translate both sides of the licence?

Yes. UK authorities need both sides because category codes, endorsements, and issue/expiry dates are often printed on the reverse. Photograph or scan both sides and we will translate everything.

Can I use the translation to hire a car in the UK?

Yes. UK car hire firms accept certified English translations of foreign driving licences when paired with your original licence. Show both at the rental desk.

How quickly will I receive my translation?

Standard delivery is 24 hours from payment. If you need it sooner — for example to drive away from a UK airport — choose the rush 8-hour service.
