Yes. Besides Japanese, the knowledge test is offered in 20 languages — including English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, Indonesian and Nepali (per the Tokyo Metropolitan Police). Availability can vary slightly by prefecture, so confirm with your local licensing center.
The knowledge test grew from 10 questions (70% to pass) to 50 questions (90% to pass), and the practical check is scored more strictly. Pass rates have fallen sharply — preparation is no longer optional.
License holders from countries without an exemption agreement — including most U.S. states, Vietnam, China, Brazil, Peru, Indonesia and Nepal. Holders from around 29 exempt jurisdictions (most of Europe, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Taiwan and 7 U.S. states) skip both tests and only complete paperwork and an aptitude check.
No. Since October 1, 2025 a resident record (住民票) is mandatory, so short-term visitors can no longer apply.
Yes — every application requires an official Japanese translation of your foreign license (JAF or another authorized issuer). We can arrange it online through JDLTC.
No — official questions are not published, and anyone claiming to sell them is misleading you. Our questions are original, written from the Road Traffic Act, and every answer shows the exact legal article it is based on.
