Recently, some students from Rieter Abroad are preparing to go to North America in 2024 Fall!Some students are going to take the driving test, but should we take it in China or after going to North America?!Maybe we can have an international driving license?If you already have a domestic driver's license, how to drive in North America, Xiaobian for everyone to make an introduction。

First post the official explanation of the standard:

China is not a party to the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, so there is no agency that can issue an international driving license for Chinese driving license holders, that is, at present, Chinese citizens cannot apply for an international driving license。

Chinese driver's license holders, Chinese citizens, if they want to drive in North America, in fact, the translation + original driver's license is sufficient。

So how do we get this translation?

To translate a document, there are 2 methods:

1.    You can search a treasure directly: North American translation of Chinese driver's license, there are a bunch of translations on a treasure, you say you want to rent a car in the country, the driver's license photo to the business, he will give you the translation。

2.    Download an APP, certain car rental, this Chinese car rental at home and abroad many use this software, this software is actually a lot。It also has a channel for you to handle the translation for free, and it will be sent back to you after it is finished。If you do not use this software to rent a car, it does not matter, this translation has a multi-language version, do not use this software to rent a car, this translation can also be used。

3.    Also, based on our driving experience in Canada。In fact, many times the car rental companies do not want your translation, because the Chinese driver's license is actually a part of English, there are many overseas Chinese car rental companies, they can also understand。And according to the law, your documents are perfectly legal, so don't worry too much。

4.    About car rental, we can compare, especially the insurance may have a lot of pits, pay attention to avoid pits!
