Do you need an apostille on your driver license?

If you are planning to drive in another country (Example: South Korea, Russia, Germany), you may be asked to obtain an apostille on a color copy of your driver license so you can “Exchange” it for a driver license in the other country.

The first step is to find a notary who will be able to assist you with the copy certification process. The process involves making a color copy of your driver license and having it notarized. If you are outside of the USA, you can ask a family member or friend to assist you.

For example, if you are currently in South Korea, and your driver license is from Florida, you can have a family member or friend copy certify your driver license with a notary in the State of Florida and then mail in the document to our office for processing. Please note that you will need to mail in the original driver license in order for the notary to perform the notarization.

Note: A color copy of the driver license must be signed and notarized in the State it has been issued from. Example: California driver license requires a copy to be notarized in California and also receive a California apostille.

If your driver license originates from: California, New York or Washington DC, we can copy certify your license if you mail in the original to our office. We have a notary on staff in all of our offices.

Once the color copy has been notarized, the second step is to mail in your original notarized copy to our office for processing. The cost and processing time varies by State. You can download our apostille order forms.
