Having a certified translation of your Swiss driver's license is essential because Japan requires foreign drivers to present translations of licenses that are not recognized under the Geneva Convention. This certified translation, provided by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), verifies the authenticity of your license and ensures that you are legally permitted to drive in Japan.
The time it takes to receive your translated Swiss driver's license depends on the delivery option you choose:
Self-Printing in Japan: Typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. You can print it at any 7-Eleven store.
Delivery in Japan: Usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. The translation will be sent to your designated address in Japan.
International Delivery: Typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. You also have the option for express shipping, which reduces delivery time to 10 days to 3 weeks for an additional fee.
To get your Swiss driver's license translated, you'll need to provide:
A clear, color scan of both sides of your valid Swiss driver's license.
Personal information, including your full name, address, and travel details to Japan. Ensure the scan is legible, with all text and photos clearly visible.
Yes, your translated Swiss driver's license remains valid for the duration of your stay in Japan, as long as your original Swiss driver's license is also valid. Remember to carry both your original and translated licenses while driving in Japan.
If you encounter any issues with your translation upon arrival in Japan, our Tokyo-based support team is here to help. We'll assist you with any concerns and handle follow-ups with JAF on your behalf. Our customer service is available in multiple languages to ensure a smooth resolution.
