Need a certified English version of a French-language driver's licence? We prepare it with a signed translator declaration, accepted by Alberta registry agents, insurers and employers, and delivered by mail across the province.
Alberta requires a certified translation only for a licence that is not in English or French, so a French licence is normally accepted for the registry exchange as it is. Order a certified English translation when an insurer, an employer, a school or a body outside Alberta asks for an English version.
