To translate documents for immigration, you must share the scanned photo of your original document and the required language pair.

No. Digital copies (PDFs) with the translator’s digital NAATI stamp, ID, signature, and certification statement are widely accepted by the Department of Home Affairs for visa applications. However, to avoid refusal by the Australian government, check the proper requirements.

A certified translation for Australian citizenship documents must be completed by a NAATI-certified translator and carry, on every page: the translator’s full name and NAATI practitioner number, the official NAATI stamp or digital certification, the language pair, the date, a signature, and a signed statement of accuracy. For citizenship files specifically, names and dates must match your passport and identity records exactly, since the Department of Home Affairs cross-checks these details. The original document (or a certified copy) should be submitted alongside the translation.

Yes. A migration translation produced by a NAATI-certified translator is what lets your documents satisfy Department of Home Affairs requirements; the certification, correct language pair, accuracy statement, and faithful formatting are exactly the elements officials verify. Meeting them reduces the risk of a “Request for Information” or processing delay, which is why reputable providers back the work with a government-acceptance guarantee.

Yes. Any non-English document submitted for an Australian residency (PR) or citizenship application must be accompanied by an English translation. If the translation is done in Australia, it must be completed by a NAATI-certified translator to be accepted; translations prepared overseas are accepted only from an officially recognised translator who provides their full name, qualifications, and contact details. This typically applies to birth and marriage certificates, national IDs, name-change records, and police clearances.
