Q: Driver's License Translation Services

I have a valid Chinese driver’s license, but no US license. I want to rent a car in California.

 

Avis said renting is not a problem as long as I have a translation of my license. Does anyone know what translation service I can use – there are many of them online. There are probably others here in Guiyang – but online is a whole lot easier if any of the services will be accepted by US car rental agencies.

Ask the rental agents that Chinese airlines advertise. They should know.

Search up your government (transportation ministry) website and it should have a list of approved translators in the area. I did this in Canada, talked to some guy, paid him about $30.00 and got it in a few days. Worked fine. 

Scahtz:

Thanks.

 

Apparently (according to QQ group in CA) the rental companies in the Bay Area never ask for a translation

I can help you to do the translation.

Another concern is did Avis need the translated copy to be authorised?

 

You can email to me at lim_yaumee@aliyun.com or Skype: limyaumee1

Hotwater:

For free or would you charge for this?

Just an add on, you'll also need a credit card like VISA or MasterCard

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
