If you plan to drive abroad, apply for a visa, immigrate, register a vehicle, or convert your Dutch license to a local one, you may need to have it translated into English, Chinese, or another language.

Many countries require a certified or notarized translation of a foreign driver’s license to ensure its legal validity and accuracy.
