Do I need both sides of my licence translated?

Yes. Upload both sides so that class codes, conditions, and any information printed on the reverse can be included.

Do I need a certified driver licence translation?

Most licensing authorities and hire companies ask for a certified translation. Where certification is required, a NAATI-credentialled translator provides the certification details.

How quickly can my licence be translated?

Standard turnaround is from 1 hour for self-service extracts, from 1 business day for extract translations, and from 2 to 3 business days for full translations. These are standard turnaround times rather than guaranteed times.

Will the translation convert my licence class to an Australian class?

No. The translation presents the classification recorded on your licence. The licensing authority decides how that classification is treated in Australia.

Which Asian languages do you cover?

Our translators work across major and minor Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Nepali, Indonesian, Malay, and Tagalog.

Can you translate a digital or app-based licence?

Yes, provided you supply a clear screenshot or export showing all recorded details.

Is an extract translation enough for a licence?

An extract translation covers the key recorded details and is often sufficient. Confirm the requirements of the organisation requesting the translation before ordering.

Can you translate an expired licence?

Yes. Expired licences can be translated where the receiving organisation needs to read the recorded details.

What file types can I upload?

Supported formats include PDF, JPG, and PNG. Follow the upload requirements shown on the ordering platform for applicable file-size limits.

Does NAATI certification apply to the licence itself?

No. NAATI certification relates to the translator's credentials, not to the original licence.
