What Certified Translation Means
What a certified driving licences translation involves
A driving licence confirms both identity and the categories of vehicle a holder is permitted to drive. A certified translation reproduces the holder’s personal details, licence number, issuing authority, categories and validity dates faithfully into the receiving country’s language, preserving names, dates, category codes, stamps and seals exactly as they appear on the source document.
Each certified driving licence translation is prepared by a qualified English–Turkish translator who is a Full Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), supported by the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) in English–Turkish Law. It is issued with a signed Statement of Accuracy, the translator’s credentials and our bureau stamp, and formatted to mirror the layout of the original.
Acceptance is determined by the receiving institution. We prepare and certify translations to meet common submission standards and can tailor certification to a specific body where required.

Common Issues
Things to check before you send your document
A few common details affect the accuracy and completeness of a certified translation. Reviewing them beforehand helps the process run smoothly.
- Front and back — Turkish driving licences carry category codes and restrictions on the reverse; scan both sides to avoid an incomplete translation.
- Category codes — EU/UK category letters differ from Turkish codes; the translation preserves the original codes with clear labelling.
- Plastic card versus paper — older paper licences may include additional pages; include everything relevant.
- Legibility — laminated cards can reflect light; provide a glare-free photograph so all fields are readable.
