Why You Need This
A license translation that does not match your passport name or misreads your vehicle category gets bounced at the RTA counter — costing you another trip. We translate driving licenses exactly the way UAE traffic departments expect.
We map your license categories (B, light vehicle, motorcycle, heavy) to the UAE equivalents so the issuing officer sees exactly what you are licensed to drive.
Your name on the translation matches your passport and Emirates ID exactly — the single most common reason exchanges get rejected.
Some nationalities exchange without a test, others must take one. We tell you whether your country is on the UAE exchange list before you spend on anything.

FAQ
If your license is not already in English or Arabic, yes — RTA and the other emirate traffic departments require a certified Arabic translation to process the exchange. Even some English licenses are asked for translation when categories are unclear. Send us a photo and we confirm exactly what your case needs.
Often yes. Being on the no-test exchange list speeds the process, but if the physical license is not in Arabic the department still needs a certified translation to read your name, categories and validity. We translate it so the exchange goes through in one visit.
Always. The back usually carries the vehicle categories, endorsements and restrictions — the exact information the traffic department checks. We translate front and back as one certified document.
Yes. Rental companies and insurers often accept a certified translation alongside your home license and an International Driving Permit for short stays. We deliver the same MOJ-certified translation — tell us the use and we format it accordingly.
No — we translate 50+ languages directly into Arabic by MOJ-sworn translators, including Chinese 驾驶证, Urdu ڈرائیونگ لائسنس and Russian водительское удостоверение. The category codes are mapped to UAE equivalents.
Yes — we translate it exactly as issued, including the expiry. An expired license usually cannot be exchanged, but the translation is still useful to prove driving history (e.g. for an insurance no-claims discount). We will flag the expiry clearly so there is no confusion.
