The green biometric card
Ivorian driving licences (permis de conduire) are issued under the Ministry of Transport. In a 2016 communiqué the ministry explained that since June 2014 the older pink credit-card licence was being replaced, and that after 31 December 2016 the only licence in circulation would be the green biometric card. If a family member still has a pink card, it is a document of historical interest only; a US office will want the green one.
The same communiqué says licences are authenticated only at the ministry's Centres de Gestion Intégrée. If a US office or employer asks whether your licence is genuine, that is where the check is made. The 2016 communiqué adds that only professional drivers needed a medical visit when exchanging the old card. We translate the card front and back, with the categories, dates and number exactly as printed. See our French page.
What a DMV can and cannot do with it
Each US state decides whether a foreign licence counts toward a local one, and a translation gives no right to drive. Many states require a new test whatever the country of origin. If a DMV asks for confirmation that the licence is valid, the Ivorian check is made at a Centre de Gestion Intégrée. Ask your DMV before ordering and see our DMV translation page.
Keep the licence number exactly as on the card, because the DMV may compare it with other documents. If you also need identity documents, see the Ivorian national ID card and passport pages. A licence obtained elsewhere in West Africa is translated as a document of that country; tell us which one you have. We translate each country's licence the same way, with its own categories and dates.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My licence is the old pink card.
It was replaced from 2014. We can translate it, but ask the office whether it accepts it.
Will the translation let me drive in the US?
No. That is up to your state's DMV. The translation lets them read the licence.
Do you translate the back of the card?
Yes, every category and date on it.
