NAATI Translation Requirements in Australia by Authorities
Our NAATI-certified document translations are widely accepted by Australian universities, banks, local authorities, and foreign embassies operating in Australia, including but not limited to:
The need for a certified translation done by a NAATI-certified translator arises in multiple situations in order to comply with national requirements in Australia. Some prominent instances are:
Immigration Application:
Whether you are applying for a student visa, partner visa, skilled migration, permanent residency, or Australian citizenship, the Department of Home Affairs needs NAATI document translation of your non-English personal documents to English.
✔ Birth Certificate Translation
✔ Visa Document Translation
✔ Change of Name Document Translation
Legal Matters:
Whether for personal issues (such as criminal cases, family law matters, visa-related hearings, or other court proceedings) or for business and industry-related legal documentation, you will need official translation for submission to the Federal Court, State Courts, solicitors, or government authorities.
✔ Divorce Certificate Translation
✔ Witness Statements Translation
✔ Power of Attorney Translation
✔ Divorce Decrees and Affidavits Translation
Employment:
Whether you are pursuing skilled migration, employer sponsorship, professional registration, or direct employment, you must submit certified translations to organisations such as Engineers Australia, ACS, VETASSESS, TRA, and CPA Australia for background, qualifications, employment history, experience, contracts, and references verification.
✔ Trade Certificate Translation
✔ Business Document Translation
✔ Contract Translation
Education Purposes (University / College Admission):
When applying to an Australian university or college, whether for undergraduate, postgraduate, vocational, or research programs, you may be required to submit NAATI-certified translations for Australian universities, colleges, TAFEs, and admissions.
✔ Degree Certificate Translation
Medical Purposes:
For healthcare access, insurance claims, or medical assessments in Australia, certified translations are needed for medical reports, prescriptions, diagnostic results, vaccination records, or health histories to submit to AHPRA, Insurance providers, hospitals, and government agencies.
Many Australian government services require certified English translations when supporting documents are issued in another language. Depending on your application, you may need to submit translations to organisations such as Centrelink, Services Australia, the Australian Passport Office, or the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Our Australian document translation services cover all of these documents and beyond. Contact us today and let us know your NAATI requirements.
Unsure Which Translation You Need?
Upload your document, and we’ll recommend the correct NAATI-certified translation required by your organisation.
Why Are NAATI Translation Services Important?
- Official Recognition: In Australia, NAATI-certified translation of all documents in a language that is not English is a mandatory requirement for official recognition and acceptance by Australian authorities, legal bodies, and government departments.
- Accuracy and Reliability: NAATI Certification is important to validate the credibility of a translated copy. It certifies that the translation is a true and faithful copy of the original document, maintaining the authenticity of all content and format.
- Legal Compliance: Translations without a NAATI Stamp are rejected outright for not meeting official standards and legal compliance. This leads to significant delay, dismissal of crucial applications, and unnecessary expenses. Only translations by NAATI-certified translators are accepted.
- Professional Standards for Official Acceptance: Experts listed on the NAATI-certified translator list are obligated to meet strict professional standards. So, NAATI accreditation reconfirms that the integrity of the documents is protected, which facilitates acceptance every time.

Highly recommend this translator service. Friendly customer support team (shoutout to especially Alex and John!). A very rapid delivery of documents (I have used this company twice now!) Easy process of snapping a photo of your document, input it in the document upload, receive email within less than half an hour for confirmation of quote price, pay the money (bank transfer was a breeze), and then await the translation to be emailed within less than two business days. I had to have a translation of my birth certificate and apostille of said birth certificate. Immaculate job! Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a NAATI-certified translation for my visa?
Yes! You need certified translations for your visa application in Australia.
Where can I get a NAATI-certified translation?
You can get online NAATI-certified translations from us. At AustralianTranslationServices, we have more than 500 certified translators in our network.
What if NAATI doesn't certify translators for my language?
In case there’s no NAATI certified translator for your language, you need to inform the NAATI administration. They can issue a formal letter stating that no certified practitioners are available. Next, you can also apply for a Recognised Practising Translator credential or look for overseas accredited translators.
Can I use one NAATI translation for more than one application?
Yes! You can use the certified document translation for multiple applications as long as the original document is valid. This is because NAATI-certified translations, including birth, driver’s licence, death, marriage, passport, and others, never lose validity. Translators may have to renew their certification every 3 years by showing their work status, but translations remain valid as long as the original document is not changed, altered, or expired.
Can I order a NAATI-certified translation from outside Australia?
Yes, you can order an online NAATI-certified translation while outside Australia. Because the process is entirely digital, you can receive your certified documents via email, no matter where you are in the world.
Is a digital (PDF) NAATI translation accepted, or do I need a posted hard copy?
Yes! Most Australian authorities accept the PDF version of the translated document accompanying the original document. However, we advise you to check the requirements of the authorities before proceeding with the application.
Do divorce, custody, or family court documents need NAATI-certified translation?
Yes! Any non-English divorce, custody, or family court documents must have a NAATI-certified translation for official use in Australia. Be it the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, state Registries of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM), or other Australian authorities, all require certified translation of foreign language documents.
How long does a NAATI translation take?
While certified translation for standard documents takes up to 72 hours or 3 business days, you can choose our express or urgent services to get it done in 24 hours as well.
Can I do my own NAATI-certified translation?
Only if you hold a current NAATI credential — otherwise, no, you cannot do your own document translation. Otherwise, you cannot self-certify your documents, which you must submit to the relevant authorities (e.g., the Department of Home Affairs, DFAT, AHPRA). In Australia, authorities generally require translations done by NAATI translators for official use.
Can you translate handwritten or low-quality scanned documents?
Yes! We can translate handwritten or low-quality scanned documents as long as the text is legible. However, to avoid any mistakes, we advise you to get a high-quality scan of your original document.
Is a NAATI translation the same as a sworn or notarised translation?
No! NAATI translation is not the same as sworn or notarised translation, as they serve different legal purposes.
NAATI certification is issued by NAATI, the national translation standards body in Australia; it certifies the translator to legally practise translation in Australia. Notarised translation is where the notary public certifies the translator and confirms their credentials.
Is a NAATI translation accepted in every Australian state and territory?
Yes! NAATI translations are accepted across all Australian states and territories. It acts as the official national standard for document translation.
Can I use a NAATI translation of my overseas driver's licence in Australia?
Yes! Hiring a NAATI translator for overseas driver’s licence translation in Australia is essential since you will need to submit it to the authorities. Furthermore, it is also a mandatory requirement for translating a foreign licence to an Australian one.
Do I need to post my original documents, or is a clear scan or photo enough?
You can just send us a clear, scanned photocopy of the original document.
