Highly recommend Nippon Driver. The whole process was straightforward, and the customer support was very helpful.
In Japan, foreign drivers must have a certified translation of their driver's license if their country does not issue licenses that are recognized under the Geneva Convention. This applies to motorists whose license was issued in Germany, France, Belgium, Taiwan, Switzerland or Monaco.
This translation, certified by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), ensures that local authorities can verify your license's authenticity and your eligibility to drive legally in Japan.
The timeframe depends on the delivery option you choose:
Using Nippon Driver to get your driver's license translation, you will need to submit:
Yes, the translated driver's license remains valid as long as your original driver's license is valid. It is important to carry both the original and the translated license at all times while driving in Japan.
Our support team in Tokyo is available to assist with any issues that might arise. We handle follow-ups with JAF on your behalf and provide customer service in multiple languages to ensure your concerns are promptly addressed.
Upon completion of your translation, you will receive a digital file along with detailed instructions on how to print it at any 7-Eleven store. The process is straightforward, and stores are conveniently located throughout Japan, ensuring easy access.
