Why is Driving License Translation Important?

Driving a car in Dubai without proper documentation can lead to legal trouble. A certified translation of your foreign driver’s license ensures that your license is accepted by relevant authorities, car rental companies, and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). In some cases, you’ll need a translated license to convert it to a UAE driving license or apply for an International Driver’s Permit (IDP).

Having an officially translated driver’s license is necessary if:

  • You want to rent a car during your stay in Dubai.
  • You plan to convert your foreign license to a UAE driving license.
  • You are a student or expatriate seeking long-term driving privileges.
  • You’re applying for an IDP for international travel.

Who Needs Driving License Translation?

Different individuals may need driving license translations in Dubai:

  • Tourists:
    Rent cars during their visit by presenting a certified license translation.
  • Expatriates:

  • International students:
