Driver's License Translation — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a certified or a notarized driver's license translation?
Certified, unless the receiving body has told you otherwise in writing. Certification — a signed statement of accuracy from the translator — is what Car Rental Agencies & Insurance Companies and ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) expect. Notarization adds a notary's seal over the translator's declaration; it changes nothing about the translation itself and costs $60 per document extra, so only order it when it is explicitly required.
What does driver's license translation cost?
$55 per page is the starting rate for a driver's license in a common language, within a published range of $40–85 CAD/page depending on volume and language. The quote you approve is the price you pay, and the certificate of accuracy is included. A mailed hard copy is $35 per order; the secure PDF is included at no extra cost.
How long does driver's license translation take?
Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days. Rush delivery in 24 hours adds 20% to the base rate, and same business day service adds 50% when a translator for your language is available. If the translation is for Car Rental Agencies & Insurance Companies, tell us your deadline when you request the quote so we can confirm it is achievable before you pay.
Will IRCC accept my translated driver's license?
Yes. IRCC does not keep an approved-vendor list; it asks for a full, accurate translation plus a signed translator's declaration, which is what we deliver with every driver's license translation. The same package is accepted by Car Rental Agencies & Insurance Companies, ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) and IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).
What do you need from me to translate a driver's license?
Three things: a clear copy of the driver's license (photo or scan, with every stamp readable), the language pair, and what the translation is for if there is a deadline attached. We confirm everything in writing before starting, and the certified translation comes back to you by email.
