What is a Licencia de Conducir?
A Chilean driver licence — Licencia de Conducir — is issued by the Dirección de Tránsito of the holder's municipality.

Issuing authority: Municipalidad / Dirección de Tránsito.
Why your driver licence needs NAATI certification for Australia
The Department of Home Affairs and other Australian authorities only accept translations produced by a NAATI-certified translator. A standard translation, a notarised translation from Chile, or a translation produced by an uncertified bilingual speaker will be rejected, even if accurate. Every Trans Lingo translation is completed by a NAATI-certified translator and includes the certification statement, translator stamp, and NAATI number required for Australian official use. If you are lodging against a short deadline, our express Spanish translation service delivers the same certified document in under 24 hours at the same $59 per page.
