Driving Licence Translation

When driving licence translation is required

Driving licence translation may be required for Russian traffic-authority procedures, licence exchange, proof of driving history, rental or formal use in another country.

The translation must accurately reflect the holder’s name, licence number, issue and expiry dates, categories, restrictions and issuing authority.

What to check before translation

Modern licences often contain abbreviations, pictograms and numeric codes that must be interpreted in the context of the document and intended procedure.

Tell us where the document will be submitted. This helps determine whether standard translation, notarization, apostille or another formal step is required.

Source document quality

If information appears on both sides, send clear images of the front and back. For an official procedure, check whether notarization is specifically required.

For a quote, you can send a scan or photo. All document edges should be visible and fine print, stamps and handwritten notes should be readable.

• complete document with visible edges
• all pages and reverse sides with notes
• established spelling of names if available
• target language and destination country
• deadline and certification type

Price and timing

Price depends on language, volume, formatting complexity and certification. The final amount is confirmed before work begins. Urgent orders are assessed against the required deadline.

If the document forms part of a larger package, sending the full set helps us keep terminology and personal data consistent.

Receiving the translation

The completed translation can be collected at the LEVEL office in Odintsovo. Electronic copies and delivery are available for suitable orders by agreement.

If apostille or other legalization is also required, the sequence should be checked before starting to avoid unnecessary rework.
