Recruiting foreign drivers and supporting them in obtaining their licenses.

To ensure that the foreign personnel we hire can get behind the wheel as planned.

Even if you hire a foreign driver, they cannot start working without a Japanese driver's license. Waiting for license conversion appointments or failing the exam can delay their assignment by several months. ZIPLUS provides company-wide support, from issuing translation documents to preparing for knowledge and skills assessments, and even preparing for the written exam for the Class 2 driver's license.

• A corporation designated by the National Public Safety Commission that issues translation documents used for converting foreign driver's licenses.
• Drivey offers knowledge checks and allows users to study the written portion of the Class 2 driver's license exam in six languages, along with a corporate management screen that tracks the progress of each employee.
• A comprehensive package (for corporations) including practice videos for skills assessment and practical driving practice at partner driving schools.
