NAATI Certified Drivers Licence Translation Services

Q: Will my translated drivers licence be accepted by Australian driving authorities?

Yes, our NAATI certified translations are accepted by most Australian road and transport authorities. However, please note that Service NSW only accepts drivers licence translations done by Multicultural NSW.

Q: Can I drive in Australia using a translated foreign drivers licence?

In most cases, you can drive in Australia on your foreign drivers licence with a certified English translation for a limited period (usually 3-6 months depending on the state). For longer stays, you'll need to apply for an Australian drivers licence.

Q: How long does it take to get my drivers licence translated?

Average turnaround times are typically 1 business day for extract translations and 1-2 business days for full document translations. Self-service extract translations can be completed in as little as 1 hour during business hours.

Q: Do I need to translate both sides of my drivers licence?

Yes, we need to translate all information on your drivers licence, including both front and back sides if they contain text. This ensures all relevant information about your driving privileges and restrictions is properly translated.

Professional NAATI certified translation of drivers licences for driving in Australia, licence conversion, and identification purposes. Accepted by most Australian and New Zealand transport authorities. Our self-service extract translation prices start at $44.95 + Service Fee.
