As a court-sworn translator for English and German, I provide certified translations of driving licences in both language directions: English to German and German to English.

Driver’s License Translation for Germany

A certified driver’s license translation may be requested by German driving licence authorities when processing an application to exchange a foreign driving licence.

Whether a translation is necessary depends on the country of issue, the type of driving licence and the requirements of the responsible authority.

Please check with your local Führerscheinstelle before ordering to confirm whether a certified translation from a sworn translator is accepted.

Certified Translation and Driving Licence Recognition

A certified translation reproduces the information contained in your original driving licence. It does not itself establish that you are legally entitled to drive in Germany or guarantee that your licence can be exchanged.

The relevant German authority determines the applicable recognition and exchange requirements.
