Translating a driving licence

A certified translation of a driving licence always bears the seal, signature and declaration of the certified translator. Your certified translation then becomes an officially recognised translation of your driving licence within the Netherlands. If you have your foreign driving licence translated into Dutch you can then use the certified translation for example when applying for a Dutch licence to the road traffic authority, the RDW (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer). It is also possible to have a Dutch driving licence translated into a foreign language with The Hague’s leading translation bureau. Once you have had your driving licence translated you will need to have it legalised. The system for legalization depends on the destination country. If you would like more information about the legalization of your driving licence or a translation of your driving licence, then feel free to contact one of our experienced project leaders. The project leaders will be happy to take the time to explain the procedure for the legalization of translations to you.

We can translate a driving licence for instance from Dutch into German, French or Spanish. We also perform sworn translations from for instance English, Italian or Japanese into Dutch. Every language is welcome at our translation bureau. In doing so we only work with translators who are qualified at bachelor level or higher and who are also “native speakers” of the target language. This way you are always assured of an accurate translation.
