Carlos Mendoza
“I was so impressed with how quickly Translations.co.uk handled my request. The service was fast, professional, and above all, reliable.”
Client Background
Carlos Mendoza is originally from Argentina. He needed to translate her driving licence to drive across the UK. However, his original license was written in Spanish. The UK Home Office required an accurate, certified English translation of her Spanish driving licence. Therefore, he approached Translations.co.uk for professional and certified driving licence translation services.
Challenges
He faced the following challenges:
- Car Rental Rejection: The rental company did not accept his Argentine driving license as it was written in Spanish and not translated into English.
- Unfamiliar with UK Licensing Rules: He was unaware that driving licenses from non-English-speaking countries often require certified translations to be valid in the UK, especially for rental purposes.
- Urgency: With a busy business schedule and only a few days to resolve the issue, he needed a fast and reliable solution.
Solution
We assigned a skilled Spanish-English translator to ensure linguistic and cultural accuracy. Our translator formatted the translated document to match UK legal expectations. Furthermore, we assigned a second linguist for quality assurance and to review the translation for accuracy. Lastly, we delivered a certified and stamped driving licence within 48 hours.
Results
He was able to submit his driving application on time and receive his UK driving license without complications. Furthermore, the DVLA quickly accepted his translated driving licence, and this expedited the entire process. He was able to attend his meetings and explore the city with ease, making the most of his short stay in the UK.
Conclusion
This case study shows how we helped Carlos Mendoza, an Argentine national, resolve the issue of renting a car in the UK by providing a fast and certified translation of his foreign-language driving license.
