Certified translation of your Romanian driving licence
A Romanian driving licence (permis de conducere) is an EU-format licence, but insurers, employers and other organisations often still ask for an English translation of the entries, codes and categories. We translate every field of the licence and certify the translation so you can hand it in straight away.
When you may need it
- Car insurance quotes and claims – to prove your driving history and when you passed your test
- Driving jobs – delivery, courier, taxi and private hire, HGV and van driver roles
- Car hire and leasing companies
- Exchanging your licence for a UK one, if the DVLA asks for a translation of any part of it
- Courts, solicitors and the police
What you receive
- A full English translation of both sides – categories, issue and expiry dates, restrictions and codes
- A signed certification statement confirming it is a true and accurate translation, with the translator's name, date and contact details
- 2 original copies, signed and stamped
We can also translate a driving record or a certificate from the Romanian driving licence authority (DRPCIV) if your insurer needs proof of no-claims or driving history.

Send your documentFrequently asked questions
Can I drive in the UK on my Romanian licence?
Rules depend on when you became resident and on your licence. Check the latest guidance on gov.uk. We translate the licence; we do not give legal advice on driving entitlement.
Does the DVLA need a translation to exchange my licence?
Usually the DVLA works from the licence itself, but it can ask for more documents. If it does, we can translate them quickly.
Do you need the original licence?
No. A clear photo of the front and back is enough. Make sure all the text and codes can be read.
Can you translate a Romanian driving record for my insurer?
Yes. Send us the document from the Romanian authority or your previous insurer and we will translate and certify it.
