Certified Taiwanese Vehicle Title Translation

eVerbary translates your Taiwanese vehicle title into English for $24.95 per page with no word cap, by a professional human translator, with a signed certification. Most orders are delivered within a few hours. Accepted by USCIS and by US universities, colleges and schools, or your money back.

The registration licence and the plate record

The document a Taiwanese car owner holds is the vehicle registration licence (行車執照), issued by the highway supervision authority, together with the owner's copy of the new-plate registration (汽車新領牌照登記書). A transfer of ownership is filed jointly by seller and buyer with both documents, and the authority then issues a new licence in the buyer's name. That pair is what a US office will usually see as the foreign title.

Private car licences used to be renewed every three years. Since 1 January 2013 they no longer need renewal and remain valid after the printed date, so an old date on the licence is not a problem in itself. Taking a car off the road, scrapping it or returning its plates is registered with the authority as a separate change. We translate the date fields as printed.

Numbers, makes and owners

We copy the plate number, engine number and chassis number character by character, and keep make and model names in their usual Latin form. Ownership by a company is translated with the company name as registered. Dates are in Minguo years, followed by the Gregorian year in brackets, so the registration history is clear. Colour and engine displacement are translated as printed.

A US DMV or customs office decides what it accepts for importing or registering a car; ask before you ship. See the Taiwanese driver's license page and our Chinese page. Owner names follow the passport spelling you give us. If the car was taken off the Taiwanese register, the record of that change is a separate document and should be translated too.

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.
