Certified translation of Drivers license

  • Driving requires permission!

    You have a driving licence, but not one that is valid in the EU? Then you’ll need either an international driving permit or a certified translation of your licence. We’re happy to take care of the latter for you. We translate your German driving licence into the target language you need, or your foreign driving licence into German — so you’re allowed to drive anywhere. Whether it’s a car, motorcycle, scooter, truck, motorboat, forklift …

    *Note!
    In some cases, German authorities require an additional classification for driving licences from non-EU countries, in addition to the certified translation. We do not currently offer this service — but soon you’ll be able to order a licence including classification from us as well. Whether you need a classification is determined by your local driving licence authority. Please check with the authority responsible for you.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Übersetzungen von Führerscheinen

Warum brauche ich eine beglaubigte Übersetzung für meinen Führerschein?

In other countries, your valid driver’s license is not always recognized as an official driving permit. Depending on the issuing country and intended use, you may need a verified translation of your license in order to drive legally. Such a certified or official translation confirms the authenticity of the original license and entitles you to drive abroad as well. As an alternative, an international driving permit may also be accepted.

Wann muss ich meinen Führerschein übersetzen lassen?

Whether you need a translation of your driver’s license depends on two factors: the country where it was issued and the country where you intend to use it. Licenses issued in an EU country are generally valid throughout the EU. You usually need to have your license translated when the original document is not accepted as an official driving permit in the country you are visiting. In that case, you will need a certified translation prepared by sworn translators.

Was kostet die beglaubigte Übersetzung des Führerscheins?

The cost of a certified translation is usually made up of three elements—regardless of the document type: the translation work itself, the certification of the translation, and the chosen language combination. At Beglaubigung24, you can get a certified translation of your driver’s license starting at €48.90. All translations are carried out by state-certified translators and officially verified.

In welche Sprachen kann ich meinen Führerschein übersetzen lassen?

At Beglaubigung24, you can order certified translations in 19 language combinations. One of the two languages (source or target) must be German.

Our language combinations:
German – English | English – German | French – German | Spanish – German | Russian – German | Italian – German | Polish – German | Portuguese – German | Turkish – German | German – French | German – Spanish | Greek – German | Dutch – German | Ukrainian – German | Bosnian – German | Serbian – German | Croatian – German | Arabic – German | Bulgarian – German

Who translates and certifies driver’s licenses?

Only sworn translators should translate a driver’s license – as well as any other official document. As authorised translators who have taken an oath at a regional court, higher regional court or an interior authority, they are state-certified and officially entitled to translate and certify documents in other languages.

How do I count the pages?

One page = one side of a sheet of paper (regardless of word count). Front and back count as separate pages. Count all relevant pages of your original document. The total is the sum of all individual pages.

Is my data kept confidential?

Yes, very much so! In fact, we're quite nerdy about that. We're certified for translation services (ISO 17100), quality management (ISO 9001), and information security (ISO/IEC 27001). Your data stays protected – from upload to delivery.

Eine beglaubigte Übersetzung des Führerscheins (driver's license) erstellen lassen – ja oder nein?

  • Anyone wishing to drive a car (or any other motor vehicle) abroad should always make sure that their national driving licence is valid beyond their home country’s borders. One option is to apply for an international driving permit at your local licensing authority (for a fee). Another option is to get a certified translation of your driving licence — and that’s where we are the experts. If you’re planning your next trip abroad, you should take a look at our tips.

  • Driving abroad with a German driving licence

    The German driving licence is essentially equivalent to an EU driving licence, as German licences are generally recognised and valid in all countries of the European Union. Things can be different, however, when travelling in non-EU countries. In such cases, you may need a certified translation of your driving licence. We create this for you quickly and with certification in just a few days, so nothing stands in the way of your next trip abroad.

  • Mit einem ausländischen Führerschein in Deutschland fahren

    With a driver’s license from an EU or EEA country, you can usually drive on German roads without needing a translation. However, this does not always apply to non-EU citizens with a license from their home country. If the license is not accepted and the stay in Germany is temporary (usually less than six months), a certified translation into German is required. If you need such a translation, you can easily order it at the top of this page.

    Regardless of whether you have a German or a foreign driver’s license, we recommend checking the specific regulations of the country you plan to drive in before you travel.

  • Sicherheit geht vor – deswegen sind wir 3-fach zertifiziert

    If you need to present your translated driving licence abroad (e.g., when renting a car or during a police check), a simple translation is not sufficient as an official document. To ensure that your licence is accepted without any issues in such situations, all translations at our company are carried out exclusively by sworn translators who are authorised to certify official documents. In addition, our service is triple ISO-certified: for our translation services (ISO 17100:2015), our quality management (ISO 9001:2015) and our information security (ISO/IEC 27001:2013).

  • Where can I have my driver’s license translated?

    The translation of a driver’s license can be carried out by sworn translators or issued by official automobile clubs. You can obtain a recognized translation at selected ADAC branches or – quickly and easily – in our online shop. Simply upload your document, select the source and target language, and place your order. Within just a few days, we will produce a certified translation of your driver’s license that is also accepted abroad.

  • In welchen Ländern ist der deutsche Führerschein nicht anerkannt?

    The German driver’s license is recognized both within the European Union (EU) and in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA). It is also valid in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Switzerland, and Turkey. Outside these countries, the German driver’s license is not sufficient to operate a motor vehicle. To drive a car or another type of vehicle abroad, you must apply for an international driver’s license or have your driver’s license certified and translated.

  • Gilt ein ausländischer Führerschein auch in Deutschland?

    If you come from a country within the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) and travel to Germany, you generally do not need to have your driver’s license translated. This also applies to people from Andorra, Hong Kong, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, San Marino or Senegal. If you come from another country and are staying in Germany temporarily, you may drive a vehicle if you A) hold a valid national driver’s license, or B) carry an international driver’s license or a certified translation of your driver’s license.
    If you stay in Germany for more than 185 days and register a residence here, you must have your foreign driver’s license converted. The authorities require the original document and a certified translation of the driver’s license for this process.

  • Wie lange ist die Übersetzung des Führerscheins gültig?

    The certified translation of the driver’s license is valid for exactly as long as the original. We only translate the content of the document, including the expiry date. Only once you receive a new driver’s license after it expires will you need a new translation as well.
