Order nowWhere it gets filed
A card that has to work at four different counters.
A driver’s license does double duty abroad: it is proof you can drive and proof of who you are. DMVs read it for classes and dates, insurers read it for driving history, and everyone reads it for identity — off a card that was never designed to be read in English.
DMVs and license conversion
Exchanging a foreign license or crediting driving experience starts with a certified translation. Examiners check issue dates and license classes, which is why the category table on the back matters as much as the front.
Insurance companies
Premiums turn on how long you have been licensed. A certified translation of the original issue date is often the difference between being rated as a new driver and being rated on your record.
Courts and traffic matters
Accident claims and traffic proceedings need the license’s particulars in the record. The translation renders classes and restrictions exactly, because liability arguments have turned on them.
Identity in filings
As a secondary identity document in immigration and benefit files, the license’s job is consistency: names and dates that line up with the passport and the rest of the record.
What gets translated
Both sides of the card, translated as issued.
The information a DMV or insurer needs is scattered across two sides in codes, categories, and micro-print. The translation accounts for all of it without inventing equivalencies that are not on the card.
License classes and categories
Category letters translated as issued with their official definitions — never silently mapped to US classes, because the mapping is the DMV’s decision.
Dates and license numbers
First issue, current issue, and expiry dates carried across exactly — the fields insurers and examiners act on.
Restrictions and endorsements
Corrective-lenses codes, vehicle restrictions, and endorsements translated with their meanings, in the positions they appear.
The back of the card
The category table and fine print on the reverse are usually where the substance lives. Both sides are part of every order.
Names and addresses
Rendered as issued, with translator’s notes tying transliterations to your passport spelling.
Authority marks and holograms
Issuing authority, signatures, and visible security features described in place.

Before you order
What license holders find out the hard way.
An IDP is not a translation of your license
An International Driving Permit is a separate booklet with its own limits, and many DMVs and insurers ask for a certified translation of the license itself regardless. If the office said “certified translation,” the IDP does not satisfy it.
Photograph both sides
The front carries your identity; the back usually carries the category table that defines what you may drive. Orders that arrive front-only are the most common thing we have to send back for a retake.
Classes do not map one-to-one
A foreign class B is not automatically a US class C. We translate the categories as your country defines them and leave the equivalency decision to the DMV — which is exactly what examiners want from a translation.

FAQ
The questions that actually come up.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Will the DMV accept your license translation?
Our translations are complete, certified, and delivered with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, which is the format license-conversion procedures ask for. Requirements differ by state — a few run their own translator lists, so check your DMV’s page; if a specific state form of certification is required, tell us and we will match it.
02Do you convert my license class into the American one?
No, and a translation that does is doing your DMV’s job badly. We translate each category exactly as your country defines it, including the official category descriptions from the back of the card. The examiner then applies their own equivalency table — that split of roles is what makes the translation trustworthy.
03My license shows my old address and my documents show a new one.
The card is translated as issued — an address on a license is a snapshot, and reviewers understand that. If the mismatch matters to your filing, the fix is a separate proof of current address, not an edited translation.
04Insurance wants proof of how long I have been driving. Does the translation show that?
If your license carries a first-issue date — many do, sometimes per category on the back — it is translated exactly, and that is the field insurers use. If your card only shows the current issue date, some insurers accept a driving-record extract from your home authority, which we can translate alongside the license.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count. A license card holds little text, so orders sit at or near the starting price of $24.95 with both sides included. The exact total shows before you pay.
06Can I send phone photos of the card?
Yes — both sides, sharp, glare-free, and complete. Laminated cards reflect light, so tilt the card away from lamps; a readable photo of the category table on the back is the part people most often have to reshoot.
