NAATI is Australia's national accreditation body for translators. A compliant translation carries the translator's NAATI number, certification level, language direction, a signed statement of accuracy and the stamp date. Australian departments verify the number against the NAATI public register — a translation without a verifiable number is rejected even if the wording is perfect.
Yes. Online lodgement through ImmiAccount accepts a colour PDF of the stamped translation together with a scan of the source document. Physical originals are only requested for paper-based streams or if a case officer raises a document integrity concern. We supply a high-resolution PDF plus the source pairing in one file to avoid mismatch requests.
Birth and marriage certificates, house registration, national ID, police clearance, bank statements, payslips, employment letters, academic transcripts and degrees, and relationship evidence for partner visas. For partner and parent visas, statutory declarations from supporting witnesses written in Thai must also be translated to the same standard.
New Zealand Immigration, many Australian and NZ universities, and several professional registration bodies accept NAATI translations. The UK, US and Schengen states generally do not require NAATI specifically — they want a certified or sworn translation under their own rules, so paying for NAATI there adds cost without adding acceptance.
The translation does not expire, but the underlying document can. A police clearance or bank statement is usually only accepted within 3–12 months of issue, so the translation ages with it. Civil documents such as birth certificates keep their value indefinitely, and the same PDF can be re-lodged for later applications.
We reissue at no charge when the query concerns our work — formatting, a transliteration choice or a missing certification element. Every job is archived with its NAATI stamp and version history, so a corrected file can normally be returned within one business day, which matters when a case officer sets a 28-day response deadline.
We follow the Royal Thai General System of Transcription, then override it to match the spelling already printed in your passport. Consistency with the passport is what prevents identity-mismatch requests. Where an older document uses a different spelling, we add a translator's note linking both forms rather than silently changing one.
Standard delivery is 1–2 business days for a typical civil document set. Same-day return is available for short documents submitted before midday, and large evidence bundles for partner visas are delivered in staged batches so you can start lodging while the remainder is finished.
Choosing the right NAATI Certified Translation provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with NAATI — National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (Australia) since 2010, handling a broad real-world caseload across government documents, certified translations, and documents intended for use abroad. Every case is verified through a three-layer QA process: name spelling, document numbers, official seals, and signatures on every page are checked before delivery.
Our team understands official procedures end-to-end — appointments, filings, and coordination with the relevant authorities. You do not have to travel back and forth or risk rejection. Our NAATI Certified Translation service supports Express handling that completes in half the standard turnaround.
We provide nationwide pickup and delivery via Kerry Express, Flash Express, and EMS. Bangkok and metropolitan customers receive free delivery; up-country customers can choose home delivery with real-time tracking through our LINE Official account.
Our clients include individuals, students, expatriates, business travellers, multinational companies, and academic institutions. We handle every document type — house registration, ID card, passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate, diploma, transcript, employment certificate, power of attorney, business contracts, and medical records.
Our NAATI Certified Translation workflow runs in six clear stages: (1) receive originals and copies, (2) QA-audit the source for issues that would cause rejection, (3) translate through a native-speaker linguist, (4) certify with the authority required by the receiving country, (5) file and follow up at each government touchpoint, and (6) deliver plus retain a signed PDF you can re-download for five years. A single Case Officer owns your file end-to-end, eliminating hand-off errors that plague larger firms.
We invest continuously in compliance practices aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 (information security), Thailand PDPA (personal-data protection), and AES-256 file encryption. Every upload runs over TLS 1.3 only. Enterprise and law-firm clients can request an NDA before intake — our legal team signs same-day.
Beyond single-document work, we bundle end-to-end packages for clients preparing multiple certificates at once — e.g. a "moving abroad" bundle (house registration + birth + marriage + diploma + transcript with MFA + embassy) that reduces the number of trips and total lead time versus filing each item separately. Approval remains at the discretion of the receiving authority; contact our team for scope and fees.
What sets us apart is a 15-year direct working relationship with the destination authority — NAATI — National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (Australia) — so we anticipate regulation changes, format tweaks, and queue timing before they hit your case, and brief you in advance. Approval outcomes always remain at the sole discretion of the authority; what we control is document completeness, formatting and lodgement timing.

Australian authorities such as the Department of Home Affairs, VETASSESS, AHPRA and universities require translations by a NAATI certified translator, carrying a valid stamp, practitioner number and expiry date.
Prefer not to handle the queues yourself, or worried about a rejection? Send us photos of your documents for a free pre-check. We handle the full chain — obtaining certified copies, translation, certification and submission — and keep you updated at each step. Reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.
Most Australian filings need NAATI, but not all — and some cases need both.
| Route | When to use | Certifying authority | Approx. duration | Rejection risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NAATI certified translation | Filing with the Department of Home Affairs, a university, or most Australian bodies | NAATI — Australia's translator and interpreter accreditation body | Usually a few working days | A translation without a verifiable NAATI stamp/number, or translated from an unreadable copy |
| Consular legalisation + Australian Embassy | The receiving body asks for the original to be certified, not just the translation | Department of Consular Affairs and the Australian Embassy | Variable, depending on each queue | Assuming NAATI covers the original — NAATI certifies the translation only |
| Both, in sequence | Partner/family visa cases, or files that previously drew a request for more documents | NAATI together with the Department of Consular Affairs | Variable — allow more time than a single route | Doing the steps out of order, forcing a re-translation after the original is certified |
Timelines above are practical estimates from live casework and can change with each authority's policy; confirm with the receiving authority before booking travel. If you would rather not test routes by trial and error, our advisers can assess which route fits your case.
Our team has worked on cross-border documents, certified translation and government liaison for over 15 years. Most rejections we see are not caused by missing paperwork but by choosing the wrong route on day one, so we always start with a case assessment.
We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.
Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.
We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.
We read the refusal reasons, identify the underlying cause, and plan a resubmission that answers what the authority asked for.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NAATI certifies the translator's credential, not the document. Where the destination also requires consular authentication, that is a separate step.
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.
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.
One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
For Australian government submissions, the translation must be produced by a translator holding current NAATI certification in the relevant direction. Verify the practitioner's NAATI number and certification status, confirm the direction covers Thai to English, and check that the stamp and translator statement appear on every page you submit.
| Option | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Direct NAATI practitioner | Small files with a single document type | Capacity and turnaround depend on one individual. |
| Agency working with NAATI practitioners | Multi-document visa and skills-assessment files | Ask which practitioner will sign, not just that the agency uses NAATI translators. |
| Provider covering translation and downstream legalization | Files also needing Thai consular steps | Confirm both scopes are quoted and both timelines are stated. |
