Foreign driving licence translation for LTA conversion.

If your driving licence is not in English, you need a certified English translation to convert it to a Singapore licence at the Land Transport Authority (LTA). It is one of our most common same-day orders.

Quick answer: Bablio translates and certifies foreign driving licences for LTA licence conversion. LTA requires a certified English translation of a non-English licence, and we format it to their requirement — usually same-day from S$68. Upload clear photos of both sides of the licence and we confirm the price and turnaround within the hour.

About this service

To convert a foreign driving licence to a Singapore licence, LTA asks for a certified English translation if the original is not in English. Without it, the conversion cannot proceed.

The licence carries your name, licence number, the classes you are permitted to drive, and validity dates — all of which the translation must reproduce exactly with the correct formatting for LTA.

This is a single-page, same-day job for most customers. Upload photos of both sides of the licence and we confirm the quote and turnaround within the hour.
