ReglyphDriver's License Translation
Translate a driver's license to English — categories, dates and restrictions stay in their original fields.
Translating something else? Browse every document type — certificates, records, statements and transcripts.
License translations are usually about driving legally somewhere new: exchanging a foreign license for a local one, satisfying a rental company, or proving driving history to an insurer. DMVs read the card structurally — class, categories, issue and expiry dates, restrictions — so Reglyph reproduces both sides of the card in English with every field in its original position.
What DMVs and insurers ask for
License-exchange programs typically require a translation of the original license, sometimes certified, alongside the application. An International Driving Permit is a separate booklet issued in your home country, not a translation — when the DMV asks for a translation of your license, this page is that document. Vehicle categories are reproduced as printed, since equivalence decisions belong to the DMV.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
Who needs driver's licenses translated
The situations people most often bring driver's licenses to us for — each one keeps the original layout, seals and tables.
How long are these documents?
A license is one card, front and back. It usually travels with a passport bio page or ID in the same application — translating them together keeps names transliterated identically, which is exactly what reviewers check.
Driver's License Translation — frequently asked
- Is this the same as an International Driving Permit?
- No — an IDP is a separate document issued alongside your license in your home country. A translation is what agencies request when an IDP isn't available or accepted.
- Are both sides of the card translated?
- Yes. Scan or photograph both sides into one PDF; categories and restriction codes on the back are translated in place.
- Do the vehicle categories get converted?
- No — categories are reproduced exactly as printed. Deciding what a foreign category maps to is the licensing authority's call.
- Does it need to be certified?
- Many rental and insurance uses accept an accurate translation; DMV exchanges sometimes require certification. Reglyph's output is the complete draft either way.
