Directions
When you need a driving licence translation
You need a translation when the licence was issued in one country and must be shown in another. The receiving body decides whether it is needed and in what form.
A foreign licence in Belarus
Your licence was issued in another country and a Belarusian institution asks for a translation. We translate it into Russian and have it notarised.
A Belarusian licence abroad
An authority, insurer or car hire company in another country asks for a translation.
Poland and other European countries
A Polish authority usually needs a sworn translation. We do it from a photo.
Any language
We work with all the languages on our list, from English and Polish to Georgian and Chinese. All languages

What to send
How to photograph your licence
We need clear photos of both sides, without glare. We translate the small fields on the back too.
Both sides
The back of the licence shows categories, dates, codes and restrictions. We translate those too, so we need a clear photo of the back.
No glare
Plastic cards reflect light. Take the photo in soft, diffused light so that all the small fields are legible.
Spelling of your name
We spell your first name and surname as in your passport, in Cyrillic and Latin script. Send a photo of your passport if the spelling on the licence is different.

Certification
Notarised or sworn licence translation
Notarised for Belarusian institutions, usually sworn for Poland. If the translation is only for reference, no certification is needed.
Notarised translation
The translator signs the translation and a notary certifies the translator’s signature. Our translators are listed in the notarial database of translators in Belarus. We can start from a photo, but the original is needed for notarisation. Learn more
Sworn translation
Poland and other European countries usually require a translation by a sworn translator and often do not accept a notarised one. A photo of the document is enough, and it takes 5–7 working days. Learn more
Driving licences cannot be apostilled
An apostille is not placed on original driving licences. If the receiving body asks for one, message us and we will look at your case.
Uncertified translation
Suitable if the institution only needs the translation for reference.
