Driving Licence Translation Services in Hong Kong

A driving licence translation is typically required when a foreign licence must be reviewed by a third party in a different language. In Hong Kong, this commonly occurs during licensing procedures, employment checks involving driving responsibilities, or insurance and vehicle-related submissions where entitlement details must be clearly understood.

FLC prepares driving licence translations with close attention to regulatory structure and entitlement data: licence categories, issuing authority references, validity periods, restrictions, endorsements and identification details. The original layout and data hierarchy are preserved, and terminology is rendered consistently to allow accurate assessment by transport departments, employers or insurers.

FAQ

What information is needed to translate a driving licence correctly?

A clear scan of both sides of the driving licence is usually required, including licence categories, issue and expiry dates, issuing authority details and any restriction codes. If the licence contains endorsements, annotations or non-standard symbols, highlighting this helps us reflect them accurately in the translation.

Can you provide a certified translation of a driving licence?

Yes. Where certification is requested by the reviewing organisation, we prepare the driving licence translation in a professional certified format, including a certification statement, company stamp and authorised signature, aligned with the stated requirements of the recipient.

Will the original licence layout and categories be preserved?

In most cases, yes. We mirror the licence structure so categories, validity periods and identification fields remain easy to review. Codes and abbreviations are rendered clearly in the target language without altering their regulatory meaning.

How long does a driving licence translation usually take?

Timing depends on the language pair, licence complexity and whether a certified format is required. After reviewing the scan, we confirm the delivery timeframe and final format before proceeding.

How can I request a quote for a driving licence translation in Hong Kong?

Send a scan of the driving licence by WhatsApp or email and specify the target language, the organisation reviewing the document, and your deadline. We will confirm the required format and provide a clear quotation before starting.
