NAATI Certified Translation by translators registered with the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters of Australia. NAATI Certified Certified translation by translators registered with the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters of Australia. Each job passes two-stage QA (proofreading + verification) before the translator signature is applied and dispatched.
Our NAATI Online service handles worldwide intake and dispatch. Overseas clients send scans via email or LINE; we translate, NAATI-certify, send a soft-copy preview, and ship hard copies via DHL / FedEx within 3–7 days.
Authorities that accept NAATI translations include Department of Home Affairs, Services Australia, Centrelink, Medicare, RMS / VicRoads / TMR / Service SA / Transport WA, every university and CRICOS provider, plus Skill Assessment bodies (VETASSESS, ACS, EA, AHPRA, TRA, CPA Australia).
Based on our experience with Child Visa 101 / 802 clients, the most common NAATI translation requests are: Birth Certificate, Parental Responsibility Letter, House Registration (Tabien Baan), Marriage Certificate (Kor Ror 2/3), Name / Surname Change Certificate. Each document has its own caveats — name spelling matching the passport, document IDs, complete certified translation of stamps. After NAATI translation, if records are bound for use outside Australia, we offer onward MFA consular legalization and diplomatic mission attestation. Free pre-job consultation available.
If documents are also bound for jurisdictions requiring Apostille or Diplomatic mission Legalization, we offer one-stop service — NAATI translation + MFA consular legalization (Department of Consular Affairs) + consulate attestation — with no need to travel between offices.
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.
NAATI translations don't expire on their own, but DHA requires the underlying document issued within 3-12 months depending on type. Official rendering validity therefore tracks the source document. In some cases the same translation works as long as the source is still valid.
Australia's Department of Home Affairs (DoHA) explicitly requires foreign-language documents to be translated by NAATI Certified Translators (within Australia) or equivalently accredited translators in the country of origin. Translations missing the NAATI stamp or full translator details are flagged with a Request for More Information (RFI), pushing visa decisions back by several weeks.
Our workflow begins with intake via LINE / email / walk-in. The team classifies the document, checks scan quality, and returns a quote within 30 minutes during business hours. After payment confirmation, the NAATI translator starts immediately, then a Senior Reviewer cross-checks names, dates, registration numbers, and document IDs before the translator signature and NAATI stamp are applied. Both digital and hard copies are dispatched.
Professional fees depend on the document type, page count, language pair, file condition, and requested delivery date. Staff review the documents before issuing a case-specific quotation so the scope and fee match the actual work.
Common documents we translate include birth certificate, house registration (Tabien Baan), Thai ID, marriage / divorce certificate, name-change certificate, transcripts, diplomas, drivers license, police clearance, statutory declarations, and corporate documents such as employment letters, payslips, and bank statements.
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 Certified Translator is the current standard, replacing the legacy NAATI Professional Translator level. NAATI Recognised Practising Translator applies to language pairs without a Certified exam. For Thai ↔ English we exclusively use Attested-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.

NAATI, the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters, certifies translator and interpreter credentials in Australia. Many Australian authorities require non-English documents to be translated by a NAATI-certified practitioner, with the practitioner's stamp and number shown on the translation.
The lowest-risk approach is to confirm whether the receiving authority wants a digital or printed set, and to prepare complete, sharp images of every page before work starts. Send the details to our team by phone, LINE, or email for review.
