NAATI Driver's Licence Translation in Brisbane
If your overseas licence is not in English, Queensland expects an English translation alongside it. A NAATI certified translation costs AU$69 flat, covers both sides of the licence, and arrives by email within 24 to 48 hours — no TMR queue to join first.

The QLD rule, in one line
Driving in Queensland on an overseas licence
A licence that is not written in English needs an accompanying English translation. You carry both documents together.
Converting to a Queensland licence
Transport and Main Roads sets the deadline and the accepted documents for transferring to a Queensland licence. Requirements differ depending on the country that issued your licence, so check the current rule on the TMR page before you book.
Why Brisbane drivers order this most
TMR licence transfers
New Queensland residents need the translation as part of the transfer application.
Rideshare and delivery onboarding
Uber, DiDi, Uber Eats, DoorDash and Menulog all require a licence they can read in English.
Car and campervan rental
Brisbane is a common start point for east-coast road trips, and rental desks ask for the English translation with the original.
Working Holiday arrivals
Regional work in Queensland often requires driving, and employers ask for a readable licence.

What AU$69 covers
Flat price
A driver's licence is AU$69 regardless of how many pages or sides it has. The per-page surcharge that applies to long multi-page PDFs does not apply to licences.
Both sides in one order
Front and back are treated as one document. If you have already scanned them into a single PDF, tick the box at upload and send one file.
NAATI certified
Translated and stamped by a currently certified NAATI translator, with their accreditation number on the certificate.
24 to 48 hours by email
Delivered as a certified PDF. Print it or keep it on your phone.
Questions Brisbane drivers ask
Where can I get my driver's licence translated in Brisbane?
You do not need to attend anywhere in person. EzyTranslate translates your licence online and returns a NAATI certified PDF by email within 24 to 48 hours, for AU$69. You upload a photo of both sides and the certified translation comes back signed and stamped by a NAATI certified translator.
Do I need an International Driving Permit as well in Queensland?
An International Driving Permit has to be issued in your home country before you travel and expires after twelve months. A NAATI certified translation can be arranged from Australia at any time and does not expire while your original licence stays valid. Requirements for a Queensland licence transfer are set by Transport and Main Roads — check their page for the current position before you apply.
How much does a driver's licence translation cost in Brisbane?
AU$69 flat, including both sides of the licence and the NAATI certification. There is no per-page surcharge on licences, and no extra charge for delivery.
How long does it take?
24 to 48 hours from payment for most licences. You receive a certified PDF by email, so there is nothing to collect and no appointment to book.
Will Uber or Uber Eats accept it in Brisbane?
Rideshare and delivery platforms require a licence they can read in English before approving a driver or courier. A NAATI certified translation submitted alongside your original licence is the standard way overseas drivers clear that check.
Can I use the same translation outside QLD?
Yes. NAATI certification is national, so the same translation is used in every state and territory. The deadlines and conversion rules differ by state, but the translation itself does not need redoing when you move.
