Moving to Arizona or planning to drive in the state with a foreign driver's license means you need to meet specific requirements set by the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). One key step is having your foreign driver's license translated into English. This process can seem complicated, but with the right translation service, it becomes straightforward and hassle-free.
Silver Bay Translations offers reliable and affordable driver's license translation services tailored for Arizona residents and visitors. We provide translations in six languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and German. Our service includes a certificate of translation accuracy or a notarized version upon request, ensuring your documents meet Arizona MVD standards.
Why You Need a Driver's License Translation for Arizona MVD
Arizona MVD requires a certified English translation of any foreign driver's license to verify your driving credentials. This translation helps the MVD understand your license details, such as your name, date of birth, license number, and driving privileges. Without an official translation, your foreign license may not be accepted, which could delay your ability to drive legally in Arizona.
The translation must be accurate and certified to be valid. This is where Silver Bay Translations comes in, providing professional translations that the MVD will accept without question.

Each translation comes with a certificate of translation accuracy. This certificate confirms that the translation is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge. If you require additional legal assurance, we also offer a notarized version of the translation.
