The Lesen Memandu Malaysia and its classes
The Malaysian driving licence (Lesen Memandu Malaysia, LMM) is issued by the Road Transport Department (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan, JPJ) by vehicle class: B2 for motorcycles up to 250cc, B for motorcycles over 500cc, D and DA for cars under 3,500 kg (DA being for cars without a clutch pedal), E for heavy vehicles over 7,500 kg, and A and A1 for drivers holding a disability (OKU) card. We translate each class code with its dates.
A new driver holds a learner's licence (LDL), then a probationary licence (PDL, the P licence) valid for two years and cancelled if KEJARA demerit points exceed 20, and then a competent driving licence (CDL). JPJ says only CDL holders aged 18 or over can obtain an International Driving Permit, so a P licence holder cannot. JPJ also offers a digital licence (e-LMM).
What a DMV reads
Whether the licence is probationary or competent matters to a US office, so we translate that status exactly as printed, along with every class, validity date and restriction. If part of your licence is already in English, we still translate the whole card so that the classes and dates stay matched in one document. Licence numbers and identity numbers are copied character by character, and nothing is abbreviated.
Each state decides whether a foreign licence counts towards a US one; a translation does not give a right to drive. Ask your DMV and see our DMV translation page. If you hold only the digital licence, ask the office whether it accepts a screenshot. See also the MyKad page and our Malay page. Bring your MyKad translation as well if the DMV asks for identity.
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
I have a P licence. Can I get an International Driving Permit?
Not from JPJ: only CDL holders aged 18 or over qualify. We can translate the P licence itself.
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.
What is the difference between D and DA?
Both are car classes under 3,500 kg; DA is for cars without a clutch pedal. We translate the code and its meaning.
