Driver's License Translation in Massachusetts
Since July 2023, the Work and Family Mobility Act has let Massachusetts residents apply for a standard driver's license regardless of immigration status, and the Registry of Motor Vehicles now sees foreign passports, licenses and birth certificates every day.
Massachusetts also exchanges licenses from Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, South Korea and Taiwan, as well as from US territories.

The RMV's translation rules
The RMV accepts documents that are not in English only with a certified translation, and it is specific about the form: the translation and the certification must both be on the letterhead of the certifying entity, following the RMV's Translation Certification Format. Language service providers are among the entities the RMV lists as able to certify.
One trap: the RMV's own "Translation into English of a Foreign License" form is not accepted for a learner's permit or standard license application. Tell us the translation is for the RMV and it will be prepared on our letterhead in the required format.
