“Do I need to translate it?”
“Where can I get an official translation that’s internationally accepted?”

In many countries—including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, and Canada—you can legally drive for a limited time using your Chinese driver’s license along with a certified English translation.

In this guide, we’ll explain when and how to translate your Linfen driver’s license, and why Elite Translation is a trusted provider for fast, accurate, and certified translations.

✅ When Do You Need to Translate Your Linfen Driver’s License?

Here are common situations where an official translation is required:

• Driving or renting a car abroad
• Submitting visa or immigration applications
• Using the license as supplemental ID or proof of status
• Applying for an International Driving Permit (as a supporting document)
• Studying or working overseas with temporary driving rights
