When you need it
- Exchanging a foreign licence for a UAE licence. If your licence is not in Arabic or English, the licensing authority asks for a legal translation.
- Opening a driving file at a driving school with a licence from your home country
- Insurance claims and court cases after a traffic accident
- Driving or renting a car abroad with a UAE licence, where an English or other translation is asked for
What we translate
Both sides of the licence: your name, licence number, issue and expiry dates, vehicle categories, restrictions and the issuing authority. Categories are translated carefully, because they decide which UAE licence class you receive.
Good to know
A translation is not an International Driving Permit. If you are visiting a country that asks for an IDP, you need the permit itself. Whether your licence can be exchanged without a test depends on the country that issued it; the RTA in Dubai and Abu Dhabi Police publish the list.
How it works
- Send a clear photo or scan of your driving licence (both sides) on WhatsApp.

- We translate and stamp it. You check the spelling of every name against the passport before we finalise.

Common questions
Which languages do you translate?
Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Urdu and other languages, into Arabic or English.
Do I need the original licence with me?
Not for the translation; a clear photo is enough. The licensing authority will ask to see the original.
How long does it take?
A licence is a short document. We confirm the delivery time in your quote.
