License translations are usually about driving legally somewhere new: exchanging a foreign license for a local one, satisfying a rental company, or proving driving history to an insurer. DMVs read the card structurally — class, categories, issue and expiry dates, restrictions — so Reglyph reproduces both sides of the card in English with every field in its original position.

Layout-preserving

What DMVs and insurers ask for

License-exchange programs typically require a translation of the original license, sometimes certified, alongside the application. An International Driving Permit is a separate booklet issued in your home country, not a translation — when the DMV asks for a translation of your license, this page is that document. Vehicle categories are reproduced as printed, since equivalence decisions belong to the DMV.

Who needs driver's licenses translated

The situations people most often bring driver's licenses to us for — each one keeps the original layout, seals and tables.

  • Exchanging a foreign license locally
  • Car rental and insurance verification
  • Employment requiring driving records
  • Court or accident documentation abroad

How long are these documents?

A license is one card, front and back. It usually travels with a passport bio page or ID in the same application — translating them together keeps names transliterated identically, which is exactly what reviewers check.

Driver's License Translation — frequently asked

Is this the same as an International Driving Permit?

No — an IDP is a separate document issued alongside your license in your home country. A translation is what agencies request when an IDP isn't available or accepted.

Are both sides of the card translated?

Yes. Scan or photograph both sides into one PDF; categories and restriction codes on the back are translated in place.

Do the vehicle categories get converted?

No — categories are reproduced exactly as printed. Deciding what a foreign category maps to is the licensing authority's call.

Does it need to be certified?

Many rental and insurance uses accept an accurate translation; DMV exchanges sometimes require certification. Reglyph's output is the complete draft either way.
