Those who have a driver’s license in Brazil or another country have an easier time obtaining their driver’s license in Japan. There is no need to redo lessons, just pass the theoretical and practical tests. Unfortunately, it is not that simple.

Many who try to transfer their license from Brazil to Japan need to spend money on interpreters, redo some theoretical and practical lessons to pass the tests, and learn the different rules of Japan again.

Fortunately, Kirizawa has decided to help Brazilians reduce their expenses in this process through an online course that saves a lot of time and effort. In this article, we will talk specifically about this course for obtaining a driver’s license in Japan through transfer.

Driver’s License Transfer in Japan

To obtain your driver’s license in Japan through the transfer method, it is necessary to have a Brazilian national driver’s license and for it to be within the validity period.

You may be wondering how long it takes to get a driver’s license in Japan through transfer. This will depend on the waiting line at the Menkyo Center where you will take your interview and tests.

Generally, people usually take between 3 to 4 months to complete the entire process when they pass on the first attempt. This process would take even longer and be more expensive if you have to attend all the practical and theoretical lessons.

Unfortunately, if your license is expired and you do not have a driver’s license from another country, you will have to go through the process of obtaining a driver’s license in Japan from scratch, without being able to benefit from the faster process. It is recommended to seek an agent in your area who can assist you.
