A NAATI Certified Translator (CT) has passed the current Certified Translator standard. Credentials carry a CPN code and 3-year validity. We hold CT translators for every language Australia accepts. NAATI Recognised is the legacy standard some countries still accept; NAATI Endorsed is a special court-grade qualification.
Australia's DHA mandates that all non-English documents be translated by NAATI Certified Translators only. This covers birth certificates, marriage and divorce records, house registrations, IDs, education credentials, driver licenses, and criminal records. Generic translators result in instant rejection.
We ship NAATI translations to Australia via DHL Express in 3-5 business days. Clients receive the digital PDF immediately on completion with the NAATI digital seal accepted by DHA. NAATI is also recognized in New Zealand, Singapore, parts of the UK, and some Canadian provinces.

Written from the competent authority's published rules, not marketing copy.
The documents most often handled under NAATI requirements are house registrations, birth certificates, marriage certificates, name-change records, academic transcripts, and police clearance certificates — each with its own points of scrutiny.
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.
