Driver Licence Translation

Which translation do I need?

​

Driving in Australia with a mainland Chinese licence

You need an English translation. Mainland China is not on any state's recognised list, so transferring to an Australian licence usually means passing the knowledge and driving tests. See Chinese Driver's Licence above.

​

Driving in Australia with a Taiwan licence

You need an English translation. Taiwan has joined Australia's Recognised Overseas Licences Scheme: Queensland and Western Australia started on 31 October 2026, and other states are following. See Taiwan Driver's Licence above.

​

Driving in mainland China with an Australian licence

Mainland China does not recognise International Driving Permits. You need a Chinese temporary driving permit or a Chinese driver's licence, and the vehicle management office will ask for a Chinese translation of your Australian licence. See Australian Driver's Licence above.

​

Rules differ between states and cities

Licensing rules and accepted translations vary. For example, NSW has its own rules on which translations it accepts for licence transfers, and offices in China apply the translation requirement differently. Each licence page explains the details – please also confirm with the authority where you will apply.

I'm Minghan, a NAATI certified translator for Chinese to English and English to Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), with over 10 years of experience. My certified translations are accepted by the Department of Home Affairs, state transport authorities, universities, banks and courts.

Large, complex projects are my speciality.

Terminology stays consistent across every page, each translation mirrors the layout of the original, and all work is NAATI certified and accepted by Australian courts and the Department of Home Affairs.

Getting started takes one minute. Take a clear photo or scan of your document and send it to me by email or WeChat. You'll get a free, fixed-price quote with no hidden fees, even on weekends and evenings. Most standard documents are delivered the same or next day.
