Driver's License Translation in Virginia
Virginia's DMV exchanges licenses from Canada, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea with only a vision screening; a Taiwanese license also requires the two-part knowledge exam. For the overseas countries on the list, the DMV verifies the license with the issuing country before issuing a Virginia one, so allow time. Since 2021, residents without lawful status can apply for a driver privilege card instead.

Quebec licenses in French
Canadian licenses are on Virginia's list, and a license from Quebec is issued in French. The fields are straightforward - names, date of birth, license number, class and conditions - but the class system and condition codes are Quebec's own, and the DMV needs them in English to issue the right Virginia license.
Virginia's DMV asks for documents in a foreign language to come with a certified English translation by a professional translator. The translation renders the class and each condition exactly as printed, and the same goes for the Japanese, Korean, French, German and Taiwanese licenses on the list: every category and code, nothing summarized.
