Japanese Driving License Certified Translation

If your license was issued in France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Monaco or Taiwan: 
- your passport 
- your national license 
- the official drivers license translation you can book on this page. 

If your license was issued in any other country: 
- your passport 
- your international driving license. 

To facilitate the translation process, we kindly request that you upload these following documents at your earliest convenience via the link provided in the separate email you will receive. Please be advised that failure to submit these documents in a timely manner may result in our inability to issue the translated version by the designated deadline. 

Don’t forget to scan your documents after payment — we won’t be able to start the process otherwise.

Select one of the two options when submiting your application: 

• Receive my translated driving license directly at home. 
   
• Pickup my translated driving license upon arrival at the aiport. 
   

For French overseas departments and territories, please select “Pick-Up at the airport upon arrival”.

Please note the following conditions:

• the scan must be a maximum of 1 page for front side and 1 page for back side
• it must be of sufficient resolution quality
• the entire driving license must be scanned in full
• the license must be legible, the photo and the stamp must be clearly visible
• the license must be scanned without its plastic cover when possible

When renting a car from any car rental agency in Japan, you just need to present your certified translated driver permit along with your original national license at the rental counter. 

This translation, officially recognized, allows you to legally drive in Japan without needing a Japanese license. 

Make sure both documents are valid and clearly readable. 

Once verified, you’ll be able to pick up your rental car and start exploring Japan by road with no additional paperwork or complications.
