A certified translation of an American driver’s license is often required when registering a vehicle in Poland, obtaining a Polish driver’s license, as well as for administrative procedures, e.g., at transportation, labor, or customs offices. In many cases, it is necessary when a person with an American driver’s license settles in Poland or plans to exchange a foreign document for its Polish equivalent.
At Linguaforum, we provide professional translations that will be accepted by Polish institutions. A sworn translator of the English language guarantees complete accordance with the original and with the requirements of Polish institutions.
📌 Information about the document photo
The document image displayed with this translation service is for illustrative purposes only. It shows an example of a given official document, which may differ from the version held by the customer in terms of both graphic form and volume. Official documents have been issued over many years in various formats and on variable administrative forms.
The document templates presented on the website have been obtained from publicly available online sources. Although we make every effort to ensure that the images presented correspond to the current versions of the documents, we cannot guarantee their full compliance with the documents you send us.
Therefore, we reserve the right to make an individual translation quote based on the document we actually receive.
Translation from the original / a copy / a document presented for inspection
For many offices, a translation made from a copy is sufficient, but for example the Civil Registry Office may require a translation made from the original. We offer two certification options:
– The client sends a scan of the document. The translation includes a note stating that it was prepared from a copy, scan, or a document presented for inspection. A printout of the scan is attached.
– First, we ask you to send a short video showing the document clearly from every side. If the sworn translator does not accept this form, we will arrange a courier to collect the original document. In this case, please add PLN 30 to the above quote and allow approximately 2–3 additional days.
