Common documents include birth certificate, house registration, marriage certificate, transcripts, diplomas, drivers license, police clearance, bank statements, and relationship-evidence documents.

A valid NAATI stamp must show (1) translator's registered name, (2) 7-digit NAATI practitioner number, (3) language pair (e.g. Thai → English), (4) certification level (Certified Translator), and (5) expiry date. Recipients can verify through the NAATI Online Directory at naati.com.au.

NAATI Recognised Practising Translator applies to language pairs without a Certified exam. For Thai ↔ English we exclusively use Authenticated-level translators to ensure acceptance by every Australian authority.
Before sending, scan or photograph documents at 300 dpi or higher, capturing every stamp and signature. Ensure name spellings match your passport across all documents — if not, prepare a name-change certificate or supporting affidavit.

Australian agencies accept only NAATI translations, yet originals such as powers of attorney still need Thai attorney notarial certification first; partner and skilled visa files usually run in parallel with a Thai police clearance certificate.
Written from the competent authority's published rules, not marketing copy.
A NAATI translation differs from a general certified translation because the practitioner's certification status must be verifiable as at the date of signature. Certification carries an expiry date, and receiving bodies can check it retrospectively.
Where a visa or registration deadline applies, allow time for the possibility that the assessor requests additional documents, rather than budgeting only for translation time.
