How Much Does It Cost to Translate a Singapore Driver’s License?

For individuals holding a Singapore driver’s license and looking to convert it in another country (such as China), a certified translation is a crucial requirement. Different vehicle administration offices typically require an officially recognized translation, and the cost of this service varies based on several factors.

I. Factors Affecting the Cost of Singapore Driver’s License Translation

1. Translation Agency Certification – Officially recognized translation agencies or notarized translations generally cost more but ensure acceptance by government authorities.

2. Translation Language – Translating from English to Chinese is usually more affordable, whereas translating into other languages (e.g., French, German, Japanese) may incur higher costs.

3. Certification and Notarization – Some vehicle administration offices require an official company stamp or even notarization, which adds additional fees.

4. Turnaround Time – Standard translation services cost less, while expedited (urgent) translation services typically require additional payment.

5. Document Length and Formatting – Some translation companies charge based on word count, number of pages, or document complexity, affecting the final cost.

II. Singapore Driver’s License Translation Process

1. Submit a Clear Copy of the Driver’s License – The applicant provides a high-resolution scanned copy or the original document.

2. Professional Translation – A certified translation company translates the document accurately.

3. Review and Proofreading – The translated text undergoes a strict review process to ensure consistency with the original document.

4. Stamping and Certification – The translated document is stamped with the official seal of the translation company and includes a translator’s declaration.

5. Notarization (If Required) – In certain cases, the translation must be notarized for legal validation.

6. Submission to the Vehicle Administration Office – The applicant submits the translated document along with the original license to apply for conversion.
