Driving in Japan with a Monegasque licence
No international permit required: in Japan, a Monegasque licence works with its official JAF translation. We obtain it for you.

A rare licence made crystal clear by the translation
The licence issued by the Principality of Monaco is one of the rarest in the world — and that is precisely where the official translation earns its keep. Many Japanese rental agents have simply never seen this document: the Japanese translation removes the ambiguity at a stroke, presenting your categories and your licence's validity in the format every counter knows. As for the rules, there is nothing special to remember: Monaco enjoys the same regime as its French, Swiss, Belgian and German neighbours — original licence, translation and passport, and you drive legally for one year from each entry into Japan.
