English to German Driving License Translation
Fast · Affordable · Reliable

Certified translation by a sworn translator
officially valid throughout Germany

If you hold a driving license from an English-speaking country (UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and live in Germany, you need an official German translation of your license to convert it or renew it. MyLicense24 makes this process easy, fast and affordable. With over 500 satisfied customers, we provide reliable driving license translation services across Germany.

A certified translation of your English driving license into German is the essential first step required by the Führerscheinstelle (Driving License Authority). Without it, you cannot exchange or renew your license. Our translations are accepted by all official bodies, including Polizei, Ausländerbehörde, Versicherungen, and more.

Why MyLicense24? Because we specialize exclusively in driving license translations. Our focus ensures error-free, legally compliant results at the best prices. Simply send us a photo or scan of your license, and we handle the rest. Your translation will be ready in 1-2 business days, with 24-hour express service available for urgent cases.

We translate all license classes (A, A1, A2, B, BE, C, C1, D, M, F, G) from any English-issuing country. Our certified translations are valid in both Germany and the UK. We also provide notary and apostille services upon request.

Transparent, fixed pricing: Standard translation €49 (1-2 business days), Express €69 (24 hours), Premium €89 (same day + Apostille). No hidden fees. Get your quote now and make your license valid in Germany!

Why is a Certified Translation Mandatory?

Since English-speaking countries are not automatically recognized under the EU driving license directive, your license is not automatically valid in Germany. If you reside in Germany for more than six months, you must present a certified German translation of your license before you can drive legally with your foreign license or exchange it for a German one. This is a legal requirement under § 31 FeV.

A certified translator is officially appointed and sworn by a court. Only translations bearing the translator's official stamp and signature are accepted by authorities — a simple translation by a non-certified person is not sufficient.

How Does the Translation Process Work?
