Certified True Copy of Driving License for Employment
Get a certified true copy of your driving license for an employer or driving role, examined and certified in house by our own licensed UAE lawyers.
A certified true copy of your driving license, for employment purposes, is a duplicate that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and certified as accurate. Employers use it to verify a candidate’s or employee’s license for their HR or compliance file, particularly where the role involves driving a company vehicle.
This is different from simply showing your license at interview. A certified copy gives the employer a verified, retainable record.
Certified Copies for Employers and Driving Roles
Some employers, particularly for delivery, logistics and fleet driving roles, ask for a certified true copy of driving license for employment purposes as part of their hiring or compliance checks. This page explains how we handle it.
Who Typically Needs This
Who Can Attend, and Representative Rules
The employee or candidate should attend in person with the original driving license, since it is their document and the certifying professional needs to examine the original directly. HR or a manager generally cannot submit the license on someone else’s behalf without a valid power of attorney from that individual.
Where an employee genuinely cannot attend, a representative may be able to bring the original document with a power of attorney or written authorization.
How It Works
- Contact us with the employer’s document requirements.
- Bring the original driving license and ID to the appointment.
- The document is examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants.
- Collect your certified true copy.
- Submit it to your employer’s HR or compliance team.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Real Situations This Covers
A logistics company extends a conditional job offer to a delivery driver, with document verification, including a certified true copy of the driving license, required before the first shift.
A courier firm onboarding several new drivers at once asks each one to submit a certified license copy for the company’s client-facing compliance file.
An existing employee is moved into a role that now includes company vehicle use, and the employer’s insurer requires an updated certified license copy on record.
How This Differs From General Driving License Certification
Our main Certified True Copy of Driving License page covers certification for any purpose. This page focuses on employment scenarios, including cases where several employees need certified copies against the same onboarding or compliance deadline.
Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

- Original UAE or foreign driving license
- Passport or Emirates ID for identity verification
- Employer’s document request letter or HR reference, if available
- Employment offer letter or contract, if the certification is tied to a conditional offer
