What is a driver's license certificate?
A driver's license certificate is an official document that confirms the fact that a driver's license has been issued to a certain person. The document contains details about the date of issuance of the license, the category of vehicles that are allowed to be driven, and other important data. This document is an additional confirmation of the legitimacy of your driver's license and may be required for various legal actions abroad.
Who may need a certificate abroad and in what cases?
A driving license certificate may be required for:
● Renewal of a driver's license. If you are planning a long stay or moving to another country, you may need to replace your Ukrainian license with a local one. The certificate will confirm that your license is valid.
● Employment as a driver. Many foreign companies that hire drivers require proof of driving skills. The certificate will help to confirm the validity of your license.
● Car insurance. Some foreign insurance companies may require additional documents to confirm your driving history to avoid risks.
Car rental. When renting a car abroad for a long period of time, lessors may require not only an international driver's license, but also a certificate of its issuance for additional confirmation.

Lawyers can help you:

● Certify documents. Lawyers can also ensure that documents are properly translated and notarized, which is necessary for their submission abroad.
