Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Vehicle Document Format

A registration or title must be read precisely – the VIN, owner and category decide whether the DVLA and HMRC will register the vehicle. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇩🇪 Germany / EU · Zulassungsbescheinigung

The Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and II (registration and ownership). We render the coded data fields and the FIN (VIN) and preserve the harmonised EU category the DVLA maps.

🇵🇱 Poland · Dowód rejestracyjny

The dowód rejestracyjny and karta pojazdu. We preserve the VIN and translate the ownership and technical fields for the DVLA and NOVA.

🇯🇵 Japan · 自動車検査証 (Shaken)

The registration/inspection certificate shows the chassis number, model code and owner. We translate all fields, which importers of Japanese vehicles rely on.

🇷🇺 Russia / CIS · ПТС

The ПТС lists the VIN, make, year, owner history and any restrictions. We preserve the VIN and translate the ownership chain and any encumbrance note.

🇦🇪 UAE / Gulf · Mulkiya

The Mulkiya (vehicle registration card) lists the owner, chassis number and details in Arabic and English. We translate the Arabic fields and preserve the chassis number.

🇺🇸 USA · Certificate of Title

State titles proving ownership; we translate any non-English fields and preserve the VIN, title number and any lien note for the DVLA.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate vehicle documents both into English and from English into any target language. Whether it is a German Zulassungsbescheinigung, a Polish dowód rejestracyjny, a Japanese shaken or a Russian ПТС, every order follows the same quality-controlled process, preserving the VIN and ownership exactly. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for the DVLA or HMRC.

FAQs

Vehicle Documents Translation: Common Questions

Does the DVLA or HMRC need a certified translation of my vehicle document?+
Yes. To import and register a vehicle, the DVLA – and HMRC during the NOVA import process – requires a certified English translation of a foreign-language registration document or title, so they can verify the VIN, make, year and owner.
How much does it cost in the UK?+
£29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A registration document or title fits on one page. No surcharge for rarer languages.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours, most delivered the same working day. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request for an import or DVLA deadline.
Will the VIN and numbers be preserved exactly?+
Yes. The VIN, chassis and engine numbers are transcribed character-for-character – a single wrong digit can stop registration – and the make, year and any lien note are rendered precisely.
Does it need notarisation?+
No. The DVLA and HMRC accept the certified translation on its own.
My country proves ownership with an invoice, not a title – can you translate that?+
Yes. Some countries prove ownership with an invoice and a registration card rather than a single title. We translate whatever document establishes ownership, preserving the VIN and owner exactly.
Can you translate a UK V5C for exporting a vehicle?+
Yes. We translate the UK V5C registration certificate from English into the language a foreign registration authority requires, with the same certified accuracy statement.
