If your driver's license is not in English or Welsh and you are submitting it to a UK authority or institution, a certified translation is often required. Home Office guidance for supporting documents requires a full translation that can be independently verified, and HM Passport Office also requires certified translations for documents not in English or Welsh.
Our standard turnaround is 24 Hours for most driver's license translations. If your deadline is urgent, same-day service may be possible depending on the language, image quality, and the amount of text on the document.
We prepare certified translations to match the published requirements commonly used by UKVI, HM Passport Office, and many universities. Courts can be more route-specific, so if your matter falls under HMCTS and requires notarisation or a statement of truth, we can advise on the correct format before delivery.

We will translate the licence faithfully and can add a translator’s note where appropriate, but you should also submit the passport and any supporting name-change or civil-status documents so the receiving body can see the full picture.
