The cost of notarizing a driver's license depends on the translation language. Drivers need to bring their existing driver's license (valid), ID card and household registration book, and provide the official language recognized by the country.

The procedures for notarizing a driver's license are relatively simple. The notary office issues a language translation certificate with a function equivalent to an international driver's license. The so-called notarization of driver's license is to notarize the existing driver's license at the notary office where the account is located. Notarization of driver's license is the most convenient method at present. It is not feasible for mainland Chinese citizens to apply for an international driver's license, but there are still ways for mainland Chinese citizens to travel abroad by car. Therefore, for example, the use of 'International Driver's License' and 'Hong Kong Driver's License' can be used as a party (region) to the United Nations Road Traffic Convention. However, the owner of an international driver's license can change the Chinese driver's license after passing the driving theory knowledge test and use it in mainland China.Įxcept for Hong Kong and Macau, because Hong Kong and Macau belong to the Special Administrative Region, the 'United Nations Road Traffic Convention' still applies. Since my country is not a party to the convention, mainland China cannot issue or renew an international driver's license. This is also the root cause of the current controversy over China's 'international driver's license. Since China has not yet joined the 'United Nations Road Traffic Convention', there is no official agency in mainland China to issue an 'international driver's license'.
