We handle your license translation and deliver it to your hotel. You collect your temporary Chinese driving permit at the Motor Office. Then you’re ready to drive.
A certified, stamped Chinese translation of both sides of your driving license, the printed copy, delivery to your hotel in China and support on WhatsApp.
What details do I enter at checkout?
Pay on Stripe and enter your full name, email and mobile number, including the country code. Use a number with WhatsApp: that’s where we’ll contact you within 24 hours after payment. You’ll send your license photos and delivery address in that conversation.
What happens after I pay?
Within 24 hours, we contact you on WhatsApp at the number you entered on Stripe. Send clear photos of the front and back of your home-country license, confirm your application city and delivery address, and give us the go-ahead. We then arrange the translation and delivery.
Can you deliver outside China?
Yes. Choose the €45 translation with delivery outside China. The €25 option includes delivery within China. Each price covers the translation and shipping, paid together on Stripe.
What should I bring to the Motor Office?
Bring your valid original driving license, stamped Chinese translation, passport or travel document used to enter China, and visa or stay/residence permit if applicable. Bring two recent 1-inch color ID photos with a white background; Shanghai also offers photos on site. Your license must be a full license, rather than a learner’s, provisional or internship license.
How long does the DMV visit take?
Plan for around 1–2 hours at the office for the application and road-safety briefing. Shanghai issues the permit on site once you complete the process; Beijing lists up to 3 working days. Check your office’s opening hours and appointment arrangements before you go.
Are there any fees at the Motor Office?
You pay the permit fee directly to the office. Beijing lists ¥10 per temporary permit; photo services may cost extra. These local fees are separate from your translation order.
Can I drive in China with an international driving permit?
An international driving permit (IDP) isn’t valid in mainland China. For your trip, get a temporary Chinese driving permit using your valid home-country license and its Chinese translation.
How long is the temporary permit valid?
The DMV sets the validity based on your stay in China: generally up to 3 months for short visits, or up to 1 year for longer stays. Use the expiry date printed on your permit; it does not always match your visa’s expiry date.
Can I arrange everything at the DMV instead?
You can ask DMV staff for help arranging a translation locally. Our service lets you have the stamped copy delivered to your hotel before your visit, so that part is already done.
I haven’t booked my hotel. Can I still order?
Yes. We arrange delivery on WhatsApp after payment, so you don’t need a hotel address to order. Send us the details once you have them. Your hotel can be in the city where you’ll pick up your car or apply for the permit.
Can I get a refund?
Contact us before you give the go-ahead if you want to cancel. Once you confirm on WhatsApp that we should proceed with the translation, the order is non-refundable. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
