Is Our Driver Licence Translation Services NAATI Certified?
Yes! For any foreign driver’s licence translation to be used in Australia, we offer NAATI translation services.
We work with NAATI-acceredited translators who certify your Driver Licence Translation with the official NAATI stamp, along with a certification statement.
This Statement declares the translation is true and accurate. Your final NAATI driver licence translation will also have the translator’s name, NAATI ID number, and signature.
What Does NAATI Certification Mean and Why Is It Essential?
NAATI certification is a legal necessity to use a foreign driver’s licence translation in Australia. It stands for the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI), which is the sole official body setting Australia’s national standards for translation.
All Australian state and territory road authorities, including VicRoads, Transport for NSW, and the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, mandate a certified translation for any licence not issued in English. You will need a NAATI Driver Licence Translation when:
- Applying for a local driver’s Licence or IDP;
- Providing your identification in legal and governmental proceedings;
- Renting a vehicle abroad, and
- Travelling, as an additional document to your passport.
Whether you are driving as a temporary visitor or applying to convert to an Australian licence, a professional Driver Licence Translation is non-negotiable.
Without a NAATI-certification, the translation does not hold any legal validity and will be rejected, forcing costly delays or facing insurance complications. To ensure your licence is valid everywhere, from car rental agencies to roadside checks, a NAATI driver licence translation is your only safe and reliable option.

What are the Translation Requirements for a Driver’s Licence?
1. Accuracy and Completeness
The driver licence translation must be a true and complete representation of the original licence, including all personal details, classifications, restrictions, and symbols.
2. Certified Translation
Driver licence translations must be accredited, typically by a NAATI-accredited translator (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters). The certification assures Australian authorities of the document’s authenticity and correctness.
3. Qualified Translators
The translation should be performed by a professional translator accredited by NAATI. This is a strict requirement for most official uses in Australia.
4. Formatting and Layout
The translated document should closely match the layout and format of the original licence, including placement of information, seals, and logos.
5. Notarisation (if required)
While not always necessary, some Australian authorities or institutions may request notarisation for added authenticity.
6. Compliance with Local Laws
The translation must comply with Australian legal standards. Some states or territories may have additional requirements, so always check with the relevant local authority (e.g., Roads and Maritime Services, VicRoads).
7. Data Privacy and Security
Translators and agencies must ensure the confidentiality of your personal information.
8. Time-Stamped and Version Control
Some situations may require the translation to be time-stamped, showing when it was completed, especially if the original licence is updated.

Highly recommend this translator service. Friendly customer support team (shoutout to especially Alex and John!). A very rapid delivery of documents (I have used this company twice now!) Easy process of snapping a photo of your document, input it in the document upload, receive email within less than half an hour for confirmation of quote price, pay the money (bank transfer was a breeze), and then await the translation to be emailed within less than two business days. I had to have a translation of my birth certificate and apostille of said birth certificate. Immaculate job! Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Do I Translate My Driving Licence in Australia?
When translating a driving licence in Australia, choose a certified or licenced translator. Since searching for a qualified and certified translator takes time, you can connect with us. To translate your driving licence, reach out to us or fill out the translation order form as pr the steps mentioned above.
2. How Will I Receive the Translation of My Driver’s Licence?
We offer soft and hard copies of translations. You will receive soft copies via email. Simultaneously, hard copies will be posted to you by Express Post service.
Though soft copies suffice for all official purposes, if you are instructed or you request, we offer hard copies translations as well.
3. How Long Can I Use My Overseas Driver’s Licence in Australia?
You can typically drive using your overseas licence for 6 months in Australia if you are a temporary visitor. However, if you get permanent residency, you will have only 3 months. Also, an IDP is valid for up to 12 months!
4. Can I Use My Driver’s Licence Translation to Drive in Australia?
5. How long is a driver's licence translation valid for?
The NAATI translation itself does not have an expiry date. Its validity is directly tied to the validity of your original driver’s licence. As long as your foreign licence is current and not expired, the translation remains valid to be used alongside it. However, be aware of state-specific driving rules: if you become a permanent resident, you are typically required to convert to an Australian licence within 3-6 months. After this period, you can no longer legally drive on your foreign licence, and the translation becomes invalid for that purpose.
6. Do I need a NAATI translation for my driver's licence in Australia?
Yes, absolutely. A NAATI-certified translation is the official standard and a non-negotiable legal requirement. All Australian state and territory road authorities, law enforcement officials, and vehicle rental agencies require a NAATI-certified translation to accompany your original foreign licence. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is often not sufficient on its own and should be seen as a supplement, not a replacement. Without a NAATI translation, you risk fines, demerit points, and being considered an unlicenced driver in the eyes of the law.
7. What documents do I need for a driver's licence translation?
You only need to provide a clear, high-quality scan or photograph of your original driver’s licence. You must provide an image of both the front and the back of the card. The back often contains important information regarding licence classes, conditions, endorsements, or issue dates that must be included in the certified translation to ensure it is accurate and complete. You do not need to send the physical card; a legible digital copy (e.g., PDF, JPG) is all that is required.
8. Can I use my US driver's license in Australia, and do I need a Translation for That?
Yes, you can legally drive in Australia using your valid U.S. driver’s license. As your license is in English, a translation is not typically required. However, the duration for which you can drive as a visitor varies depending on the state or territory you are in.
While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for U.S. license holders, it is highly recommended. An IDP serves as an official translation of your license into multiple languages and can be beneficial when dealing with law enforcement or renting a vehicle. Car rental companies, in particular, may have their own policies and often prefer or require an IDP. The U.S. Embassy in Australia also advises obtaining an IDP before your departure.
You must carry your physical U.S. driver’s license with you at all times while driving in Australia.
