Service Knowledge Base
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)
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.
What must appear on a NAATI translation?
A certified practitioner in the correct language direction, a verifiable stamp or digital seal with practitioner number and date, a statement that the translation is true and complete, and full rendering of every element including seals and reverse-side text.
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.
I live outside Thailand. Can I still order a NAATI translation?
Yes. The whole workflow is online: send colour scans by email or messaging app, confirm name spellings against your passport, pay by transfer, and receive the certified PDF. Replies are sent during Thai business hours, so time-zone differences only affect response timing, not delivery.
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.
Can you translate a Thai police clearance certificate for Australia?
Yes. Obtain the certificate from the Royal Thai Police Special Branch first, then send the freshly issued copy for translation. Check the validity window the receiving authority applies, as many accept only recently issued certificates.
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.
Do I need to post the original documents to you?
No. We work from high-quality colour scans or photos showing the full page. You keep the originals for presentation. Hard copies with a wet stamp are only produced when the receiving authority explicitly requires them, and we post them to the address you provide.

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
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.
Send full-page colour scans, front and back
Scan at 300 dpi or better so seals, signatures, document numbers and reverse-side text are legible. Anything unreadable must be marked as illegible in the translation, which commonly triggers a request for further documents.
You can verify the translator yourself
A compliant translation carries a stamp with the practitioner's certification number and expiry date. You can check that number against NAATI's online register and confirm the certification is current on your lodgement date.
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.
Common reasons documents get rejected
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.
Submitting a translation whose certification has lapsed
NAATI certification is subject to recertification cycles. If the stamp's expiry date falls before your lodgement date, the authority may refuse the translation — always check the date on the stamp.
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.
