Clear at the counter

The clerk has to read your license before you can drive

When you hand a German driver's license to a DMV clerk, an insurer, or a rental counter, they need to read your class, dates, and restrictions in English. If they cannot, or if there is no certification attached, you walk away without the approval you came for.

That can mean another trip, a delayed policy, or a car you cannot pick up. A small document holds up a big plan.

Every field carried over

Certified license translation that offices accept

Native German translators carry over every field on your license, from the issue and expiration dates to the license class and any restrictions, laid out so the reviewer can match it to their form. Each translation includes a signed certification statement accepted for official use.

We translate licenses across 120+ languages, so the same trusted process covers your whole household if you need more than one.

Speak to a Human Now!

Do I need a certified translation of my German Fuhrerschein to drive in the U.S.?

It depends on your state. Some states accept an International Driving Permit, while others want a certified translation of your German Fuhrerschein at the DMV. Check with your local DMV first. When a translation is required, our certified version is accepted for that purpose.

Will the DMV and my insurer accept your certified German driver's license translation?

Yes. Each German driver's license translation carries a signed certification statement accepted for official use by state DMVs, insurers, and rental companies. Every field from your Fuhrerschein, including the class and restrictions, is laid out so the clerk can match it to their form.

Can you translate a German Fuhrerschein issued in Austria or Switzerland?

Yes. We translate German driver's licenses (Fuhrerschein) from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for DMV applications, insurance, and identification. Our translators handle the regional differences so the license reads correctly wherever it was issued.

How quickly can you translate a one-card German driver's license?

Most German driver's license translations are delivered within 48 hours, and because a Fuhrerschein card is a single page the work moves fast. If you need it sooner, same-day rush service is available.

What does it cost to translate my German driver's license?

Certified German driver's license translation is $24.10 per page, certification included. Since the license is one card, you will know the full price before you order, with nothing added later.
