I translated a driver's licence recently. What makes it noteworthy is that the guy I translated it for wanted to meet me because he was working for an organisation that is looking to be involved in Tanbo art in the local area and he might have documents that need to be translated in the near future. I suspect that I got picked because, according to the NAATI website at least, I'm the only (accredited) Japanese to English translator in North Queensland. (Although for some reason it only lists nine translators in Queensland and I'm fairly certain there are more than that.) It also reminds me how important it can be to actually meet people.
The only regret that I have is that I didn't have a business card to give him when he gave me his.
