• Acceptance: Our translations fully comply with DriveTest and Ministry of Transportation requirements.

Translation Requirements in Ontario vs. Quebec

Ontario: An expensive ATIO-certified translation is no longer mandatory to exchange a driver's licence. According to the official DriveTest website, a regular certified translation is sufficient. If a DriveTest agent mistakenly requires an ATIO translation, you can refer them to their own guidelines.

Quebec: An ATIO-certified translation is required for driver's licences in Quebec. Please inform your project manager that the translation is for use in Quebec.
