  Many people who work or study abroad want to exchange their foreign driver's license for a Chinese driver's license after returning to China. In this process, the translation of the driver's license is a key step. So, how should the driver's license translation be handled? How to convert a foreign driver's license to a Chinese driver's license? The following is a detailed process and related information.

  1. Driver's license translation: Choose a qualified translation company

  When exchanging a foreign driver's license for a domestic driver's license, the vehicle management office requires a translation of the foreign driver's license. Therefore, you need to find a qualified and recognized translation company by the vehicle management office to translate the driver's license. The translation company needs to stamp the translation with its official seal and attach a copy of the company's business license.

  Translation process:

  Provide the original or clear photo: You can give the original foreign driver's license to the translation company, or send them a clear photo.

  Translation and stamp certification: The translation company will translate the content of the driver's license into Chinese and stamp it with the translation official seal. Only companies with translation qualifications can provide legal and valid translations.

  2. Exchange for a Chinese driver's license: Go to the local vehicle administration office

  According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", if a foreigner holds a valid foreign driver's license and wants to apply for a motor vehicle driver's license in China, he must apply to the local vehicle administration office and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", and submit a series of supporting documents, including passport (original and copy), ID card (original and copy), driver's license (original and copy, and translation), entry and exit records, physical examination results, etc.

  Application process:

  1. Consult and submit materials: Go to the local vehicle administration office, consult the staff and submit all required materials.

  2. Physical examination and vision test: The vehicle administration office will arrange for you to undergo a physical examination and vision test.

  3. Examination: According to local policies, some regions may allow exemption from some examinations. China's driver's license examination includes subject one (theoretical examination) and subject three (road test). For applicants holding foreign driver's licenses, the specific examination exemption policy varies from region to region.

  4. Pay fees: After passing the examination, you need to pay the relevant fees.

  5. Get your driver's license: After all the procedures are completed, the vehicle administration office will issue you a Chinese driver's license.
