One of the documents I am most often asked to translate is a French driver’s licence. You can drive using your French driver’s licence when you visit Australia, but you must have it translated by a NAATI certified French to English translator and you must carry the translation with your French licence.

If you are planning to take up residence in Australia, you will need to exchange your French licence for an Australian one, normally within three months of arrival. To do this, you will also require a translation of your French licence.

Each state and territory in Australia issues their own licences, and the regulations regarding overseas licences may vary, so be sure to check with the relevant road agency what you need to do.

For a quick translation, just email me a copy of your French licence. Be sure to include both sides, so that all the appropriate details can be translated. The completed translation will include my NAATI stamp, as required by Australian authorities.

Bonne route!
