Check current eligibility first, then confirm the translation scope

Send Your DocumentAbu Dhabi foreign driving licence exchange is handled by the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) through TAMM. The authority name, exchange service and TAMM channel were checked on 20 September 2026.
That source check did not establish a universal rule that every foreign licence needs translation, a Dubai-equivalent country matrix, a fixed application checklist, a particular eye-test provider, a licence-video rule, or a government processing duration. Check the current ITC/TAMM eligibility and instructions for your own licence before ordering translation.
Start With Your Current ITC/TAMM Instructions
- Check which Abu Dhabi exchange route applies to your licence and issuing country.
- Read the current document and language requirements for that route.
- If translation is requested, send us clear images of the front and back of the licence and the relevant instruction.
- We confirm the translation scope and quote before work starts.
If the current authority instructions require an in-person step, take the documents they list to the service point they specify. This page does not replace the authority’s current submission instructions.
What to Send for Translation Review
For the translation decision itself, send:
- clear images of the front and back of the driving licence;
- the source language, if you know it;
- the Abu Dhabi route you are using;
- any current ITC/TAMM instruction that specifies a translation, target language or document format.
Other identity or application documents should be supplied only when they are relevant to the authority process or needed to resolve a name/spelling issue. They are not presented here as a universal Abu Dhabi translation bundle.
Dubai Rules Do Not Automatically Transfer to Abu Dhabi
Dubai uses the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA). Abu Dhabi uses the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility). A translation rule, country treatment or process described for Dubai should not be assumed to apply in Abu Dhabi without checking the current Abu Dhabi service.
For the Dubai route, use the Dubai RTA licence page. For Abu Dhabi, check the current ITC/TAMM instructions first.
Translation Scope and Final Decision
If the current Abu Dhabi instructions call for translation, we can review the licence and confirm whether we can support the requested language pair and output. The receiving authority makes the final decision on eligibility, application requirements and acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our translation services.
Who handles foreign driving licence exchange in Abu Dhabi?
The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) provides driver-licensing services, including foreign driving licence exchange, through TAMM. That authority and channel were checked on 20 September 2026.
Does every foreign driving licence in Abu Dhabi need legal translation?
Do not assume that. The primary Abu Dhabi Mobility overview checked on 20 September 2026 confirmed the exchange service and TAMM channel but did not expose a universal translation rule by licence country or language. Check your current ITC/TAMM eligibility and instructions first.
Can I use the same translation rules as Dubai RTA?
Do not transfer Dubai RTA rules automatically to Abu Dhabi. The authorities and service routes are different. Follow the current ITC/TAMM instructions for your Abu Dhabi application.
What should I send for a translation review?
Send clear images of the front and back of the driving licence, tell us the intended Abu Dhabi route, and include any current authority instruction that specifies a translation or language requirement.
Do I need a specific eye-test provider, licence video or fixed document checklist?
Use the current ITC/TAMM instructions for those application steps. This page does not present an older or third-party checklist as a universal current authority requirement.
How long will the Abu Dhabi exchange process take?
This page does not state a government processing duration. Check the current ITC/TAMM service information for authority timing. Translation timing is confirmed only after we review the document and requested scope.
Not Sure What Your Documents Need?
