LIVING IN JAPAN : LOCAL DRIVER'S LICENSE CONVERSION TO A JAPANESE LICENSE
   
 
Foreigners can drive in Japan with an International Driverfs license. But for those who are planning to stay in Japan for more than a year and wishing to drive legally should apply for a Japanese driverfs license. It has been a sudden change of rule by the Japanese government in 2003.
   
 
Everybody in Japan knows that obtaining a driverfs license is a major problem for Japanese residents and especially for foreigners. From getting your local license converted, acquiring all the necessary documents to taking the exams, takes a lot of money and time. Japanese residents are required to take expensive driving lessons before they take the exam, which would cost them not less than 3,000 US dollars.
   
 
Foreigners are first asked that their local licenses be translated into Japanese. The translation of license is done at JAF offices nationwide. But be sure that before going to the JAF office for translation, your local license hasnft expired. JAF will not translate expired licenses.
   
 
A lot of people may be more concerned about the driving exams rather than gathering all the important papers. We advise you to think twice. Getting all the documents ready is not at all easy as it sounds. If you donft really take the documents you have to bring seriously, therefs a big chance youfll get denied before you even get to the actual exams. Japanese government is very aware of the fact that illegal things happen in different countries, so they scrutinize each and every document each applicant pass. Also, even if you think that you already have all the documents, therefs still a chance of being denied if you donft give the proper answer to the questions theyfll ask you about the documents you gave. It is advised that before you hand over the documents, review and check if there were any corrections made in your paper.
