NAATI Certified Translation Knowledge Base

Common questions about NAATI-certified translation for Australian submissions, answered from the destination authority's published practice. (241+ search topics covered)

How should I scan my documents?

Use colour at 300 dpi or higher, capture the full page including margins, avoid shadows across text, and scan the reverse of any page bearing a seal. Phone photos are acceptable if taken flat, straight on and under even light.

How much does a NAATI translation cost?

Pricing depends on document type and page count. Single-page civil documents are priced per document, while transcripts and bank statements are priced per actual page. Send scans and you receive a fixed quote with no hidden charges before any work starts.

Can I request a specific spelling or terminology?

Within the limits of accuracy, yes — personal names follow the passport and institution names follow official usage. We cannot alter substantive content, because a certified translation must correspond to the source exactly.

Is a PDF enough, or do I need a printed certified copy?

Online lodgements normally accept a PDF carrying the translator's stamp. Counter submissions, education providers and state road authorities sometimes ask for a printed set, so order one spare hard copy if the requirement is unclear.

What is a NAATI certified translation?

It is a translation produced by a translator credentialed by NAATI, Australia's national accreditation body. Each page carries the translator's stamp with a practitioner number, language direction, signature and date, so any reviewing officer can trace the translator. We deliver every job in that exact format.

Does a NAATI translation need consular legalisation or an Apostille?

For Australian visa and citizenship lodgements a credentialed translation is normally sufficient on its own. If the same document is also going to a civil registry, court or another government body, consular certification or an Apostille step may apply — tell us the end use and we map the route first.

Does a NAATI translation expire?

The translation itself has no expiry, but authorities often require recently issued source documents such as a household registration or single-status certificate obtained within three to six months. When the source is reissued, the translation should be redone to match it.

Can I get the file again later if I lose it?

Yes, within the retention period stated in our data policy. Provide the name used at ordering and the approximate date, and we resend the original file or produce extra printed copies without re-translating.

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

Must NAATI translation be done inside Australia?

No. NAATI is Australia's certification system for translators and interpreters, and a certified practitioner can work from anywhere, so the stamp is valid when produced outside Australia. The Department of Home Affairs does require translations made outside Australia to show the translator's full name, address, contact details and qualifications, so always confirm the receiving authority's wording requirements first.

Can I translate the document myself and have a bilingual friend certify it?

In practice this is refused. Visa authorities and universities generally require an independent third-party translator — not the document owner or a relative — and Australian bodies usually specify a NAATI certified translator by name. Self-translation risks rejection and a full resubmission cycle.

What should I send the translation team for a first-time pass?

Full-page colour scans that are sharp and uncropped, including reverse sides bearing seals; the exact English spelling of names as printed in your passport; and the destination authority (visa, university, professional board), because certification wording and how the source document is referenced differ by recipient.
Practical advice & cautions

NAATI-certified translation: what to prepare and what gets rejected

Before you start

  • Plan ahead if the document will also be used in Thailand or a third country

    A NAATI translation is not legalisation. Use in Thailand or a third country may still require translation certification or authentication under that authority's rules. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email to sequence the steps first.

  • Match name spelling to the passport, letter for letter

    Names on the translation must match the passport page you will submit rather than a fresh transliteration. Send a copy of the passport bio page with every order.

  • Tell us whether the translation is produced inside or outside Australia

    The Department of Home Affairs applies different rules: translations made in Australia must be done by a NAATI-certified translator, while translations made outside Australia must show the translator's full name, address, telephone number and qualifications on the translation.

  • Confirm the receiving authority actually requires NAATI

    NAATI is Australia's credentialing system for translators and interpreters and is mainly relevant to Australian authorities — visas, qualification assessment and professional registration. Other countries use their own systems, so verify the requirement before ordering.

Common reasons documents get rejected

  • Reusing an old translation after the source was reissued

    If the original has been reissued or amended, the earlier translation no longer matches what you lodge. Always translate the exact version you will submit.

  • Leaving parts of the document untranslated

    Seals, signatures, footnotes and reverse-side text are part of the document. Translations that omit them are commonly rejected.

  • Assuming NAATI replaces legalisation

    NAATI certifies the translator's credential, not the document. Where the destination also requires consular authentication, that is a separate step.

  • Name mismatch across the document set

    If the name on the translation does not match the passport or other documents in the same application, the authority will ask for linking evidence such as a change-of-name certificate.

Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
