a Chinese one
如何将国外驾照转为中国驾照？需要什么手续和流程？这些问题我们都替您搞清楚了！
作者：福建泉州启航翻译公司
阅读此文前，启航翻译温馨提醒您：直接持境外驾驶执照在中国国内开车，一旦被查，一律按无证驾驶处理，不仅扣车，人也可能被扣！
但是，机动车驾驶证/驾照成了我们生活的必需品，那么回国人员或在华外籍人士如何取得中国的驾驶执照呢？就此问题，我们特别采访了泉州市交警支队车管所的相关人士。
根据车管所公布的《外国人、港澳台驾证转入办法流程》的规定，办理转入时，应带驾驶证、身份证（除外籍人士外）、护照（港澳人士需带港澳通行证、台湾人士需带台胞证）的原件及复印件。
外国驾驶证和护照属于非中文表述，需由具有资质的正规翻译公司翻译并加盖“翻译专用章（点击查看）”。简单地说，国外驾照都是需要翻译的，外籍人士持外国护照的还需要翻译护照。
拿着我们翻译盖章好的文件，到车管所窗口受理，需要办理体检照相，预约科目一的理论考试。成绩合格后上交成绩单，办理手续便可获得中华人民共和国机动车驾驶证了！请记住，证件需在有效期限内才能办理转入。是不是没有你想象的那么难吧？
重要提示：需要翻译盖章的朋友，请务必事先联系我们，先确定翻译再上门取件！因为我们业务繁多，经常必须带翻译章和公章到公安局、法院、公证处等政府部门办事。如未预约，可能没办法及时为您办理翻译盖章业务！
在翻译实践中，客户经常问：
1.该找谁翻译呢？自己翻译可以吗？
我们在此（再次）统一明确回复：任何境外驾驶执照的换领都必须经公安局交通支队车辆管理所认证的专业翻译机构翻译！我们是车管所等政府机构推荐认可的翻译机构！所以，找启航翻译公司！
2.用国外驾照换了中国驾照，国外驾照是不是作废了？
不是的！换驾照前需要先进行国外驾照的翻译。用国外驾照换中国驾照的时候，车管所需要查看您的国外驾照原件，提交复印件，原件您自己保留。换领成功后，您就将有两个驾照：一个中国的驾照，一个国外的驾照。所以，不必担心！
3.非泉州地区的朋友经常问，我不在泉州，找你们翻译可以吗？
完全可以！这个没区域限制，只要翻译准确，具备完全资质，全国有效，没有区域限制！
4.我是外地的，怎将资料发给你们翻译呢？
一般情况下，我们要求客户取件时带上原件，我们需要将原件的复印件与译文一起盖章。但外地的朋友可以通过扫描给我们，我们翻译盖章后再通过顺丰快递给您！
5. 车管所说的要有资质的翻译公司，你们是否具备这些资质呢？
启航翻译有限公司是经工商局正规注册，并经公安局司法备案的翻译公司，是中国翻译协会单位会员，受国家承认的具有翻译资质的专业翻译机构。目前经特批获得翻译专用章的以涉外翻译认证为主的翻译机构，全国不超过100家，启航翻译公司是其中一家。我们承诺：盖章类证件得到各地车管所认可，100%保证通过认证审核！
我们提供专业的包括各国驾照翻译服务，翻译件会加盖我们的翻译专用章、公章并免费提供资质文件。已为许多申请换领中国驾照的客户提供了高品质的翻译服务，在客户中有着良好的口碑。
6. 多久可以拿到中国驾照？翻译有效期是多久？我什么时候可以去车管所办理？
科目一通过后，一般可当场拿证！翻译件是没有有效期的，但一定要在驾照有效期内办理换领国内驾照！

国外驾照翻译盖章，换领中国驾照（点击相应国家查阅更多资讯）
(案例太多，无法一一列出)
温馨提醒：1.根据公安部139号令，内地居民持有境外机动车驾驶证，取得该机动车驾驶证时在核发国家或者地区连续居留至少三个月（也就是说拿驾照时间期连续待够三个月）这样换驾照只需要考科目一。
2.直接持境外驾驶执照在中国国内开车，一旦被查，一律按无证驾驶处理，不仅扣车，人也可能被扣！
3.警惕“国际驾照”骗局。在美国和欧洲的确存在国际驾照的说法,那是因为全球有60多个国家地区签署过《联合国道路交通公约》，互相承认驾驶执照。而中国并没有加入此公约，中国不承认所谓的国际驾照！
4.车管所不接受任何个人或不正规的翻译中介（未注册或无资质获得翻译专用章的公司）的翻译件。
Ok, if you cannot read Chinese above, we
are considerate to explain the steps and different situations to obtain a driving license in English!
Before starting, you have to know about the
following information first.
- You cannot drive with an International
Driver's Permit (IDP) in mainland China, nor with permits obtained in Hong
Kong, Macao or Taiwan.-
This article is based on the laws of the Beijing. The requirements may vary
slightly depending on the city you apply in.-
Written exams are offered in English or Chinese. In some of the main
cities of the country, you may even find the exams in other languages (such as
Spanish, French, German or Arabic). And in some cities, you may be
authorized to bring a translator.
How to get temporary driver’s
license?
According to a clause in a regulation issued
by the Ministry of Public Security, if you have a driving license issued by
your home country, you can apply for a temporary driving license and drive in
China without having to take the related tests.
The
regulation, which deals with the management of automobiles and expatriates that
come to China for a short stay, stipulates that the valid period of the
temporary driving license should not exceed the period marked in the entry and
exit certificates, and the temporary license can be valid for three months at
most. The validity period cannot be extended. In addition, the temporary
driving license should be used together with the driving license issued by your
home country and you should always carry these two licenses with you. (You may
be asked to present them at any time by the traffic police) in case traffic
police ask you to show these licenses at any time.
Although you have obtained your driving license at home and can get your
temporary driving license in China without having to take the related tests,
you need to attend lessons to study Chinese road safety regulations, before you
can drive in China. You can only drive small cars or automatic-gear cars.
Necessary documents:
National
driver’s license.
International Driving Permit.
Chinese translation of the foreign driver’s license (consult the embassy to
know where this can be done).
Completed application form.
A hotel booking for at least one day.
Three one-inch color photos with a white background.
How to get permanent driver’s
license?
If you will stay for a relatively long time in
China, you can consider obtaining an official driving license in China.
Get
Chinese driver’s license with a driver’s license obtained from your home country. If you have a residence permit and a driver’s license from
another country, you can get a Chinese driver’s license (valid for 6 years)
just by passing a written exam. The procedures and the exam are done at the
traffic police department (chē guǎn suǒ 车管所) in the city you
live in and you may need a prior appointment. The exam consists of answering
100 multiple choice questions and lasts 45 minutes. You pass by scoring above
90%. If you fail, you can repeat it at that time, and if you don’t pass the
second time, you have to wait at least 20 days to take it again.
Necessary documents:
Passport and residence permit valid for at
least three months(original and photocopy).
Record of temporary residence obtained at the local police station (original
and photocopy).
Driver’s license from the other country (original and photocopy).
Certified and notarized translation of the driver’s license from the other
country to Chinese (In many places, such as Beijing, you only need to provide a
translation signed by a Chinese national and bring the copy of his/her ID card).
Medical certificate (normally you can get this at the same place).
Getting a driver’s license
for the first time
If
you are over 18 years of age, you have a temporary or permanent residence
permit and you don’t have a driver’s license from another country, you can
still get a driver’s license in China. To do this, you’ll have to pass four
exams:-
Written exam on laws and traffic regulations and basic concepts on vehicles
(100 questions)-
Parking and basic driving skills test on a track-
Written exam on correct driving habits (50 questions)-
Road testEach
exam can be taken twice. If you fail, you’ll have to pay the fee again and wait
at least 20 days.
To
get your license, you’ll have to sign up for a driving school. There are some
driving schools which specialize in foreigners or which accept foreigners.
There are even some which allow you to bring along a translator. It normally
takes 2 to 3 months and 3,000 to 8,000 Yuan (fees, theory classes and on-road
practice) depending on the driving school and the city.
Necessary documents:
Passport and residence permit valid for at
least 3 months (original and photocopy).
Record of temporary residence obtained at the local police station (original
and photocopy).
Medical certificate (normally this can be obtained at the same place).
Three to five one-inch color photos with a white background.With the information above, you are well prepared to get Chinese driver’s
license now. Please enjoy your stay in China.
Suggestions for expatriates who choose
public transportation in China:
As for incity (intra-city) transport, it is often better to
use public transportations such as bus, subway or cheap ubiquitous taxi, which
are well developed in many main cities of China. For travelling between cities,
there are trains, planes, inter-city buses, and especially the excellent
high-speed railway system which is among the bests in the world.
