This is an AI translation. For official legal interactions like traffic stops or court, you may need a certified government translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP). This tool is great for rentals, insurance, and general ID checks.
A driver's license is more than just a permit to drive; in many countries, it is the primary form of photo identification. When traveling, renting a vehicle, or moving abroad, having your license in a local language is often essential. However, translating these small, complex cards is difficult. They are packed with specific terminology, codes, and anti-fraud security features. To translate the document effectively, you need a tool that understands these diverse formats and doesn't just strip out the text.
Standard translation apps often fail with licenses because they don't understand layout. They might mix your name with your address or confuse your date of birth with the expiration date. Scanned.To uses specialized Visual AI that recognizes ID card structures. When you choose to translate the license, our engine identifies fields like 'License No.', 'Class', and 'DOB'. It translates the headers (like 'Nombre' to 'Name') but keeps your personal data (like 'Juan Perez') accurate. Crucially, it leaves your photo and the card's background design untouched.
One of the most common reasons to translate the document is for renting a car. While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended, it is sometimes unavailable or forgotten. Many rental agencies will accept your original license accompanied by a high-quality, professional-looking translation that clearly explains your driving entitlements. Our side-by-side translation output helps agents quickly verify that your license is valid and that you are authorized to drive the vehicle class you requested.
We understand that your driver's license contains PII (Personally Identifiable Information) that could be used for identity theft. That's why Scanned.To is built with privacy as a core feature. We use SSL encryption for all data transit. Furthermore, we do not retain your data. When you translate the file, the documents are processed automatically and then permanently purged from our system after one hour. We never sell your data to third parties.
Works great with photos taken on your phone. Our AI automatically corrects perspective and lighting issues common with ID cards.
Get a side-by-side view enabling officials to easily compare the original text with the translation.
“I need to use my license as a secondary form of ID at a bank.”
Banks need to verify every detail. Translate ID documents with precision so your identity is confirmed without delay.
To ensure high accuracy, take a clear photo of your license. Place it on a plain background and ensure there are no reflections on the plastic surface. If your license has important information on the back (like restriction codes), be sure to scan and translate that side as well. Review the translated document to ensure that key details like the expiration date and your license number are clearly visible and correct.
Don't let a language barrier keep you off the road. Scanned.To makes it simple to translate the license from any device. Upload your scan, select your target language, and drive with confidence knowing you have a clear, accurate translation in your pocket.
