Why 2500+ Australians Trust OZTranslationServices for NAATI-Certified Document Translations?
Documents submitted in a language other than English are generally not accepted. If you translate them yourself or with an app, the application can be rejected — delaying your visa and costing you money. For translations completed in Australia, government bodies accept only those produced by a NAATI-certified translator.
Are you searching for a government-certified translator to translate your documents for immigration or legal purposes? Well, your search ends here. We have access to a network of 500+ NAATI-certified translators in Australia.
Australia is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world. Over 400 languages, including around 167 Indigenous Australian languages and over 250 immigrant languages, are spoken in Australia (ABS, 2021 Census). While English is the primary language, about 22% of Australians speak a language other than English (ABS, 2021 Census).
Therefore, if someone is willing to migrate to Australia for work or permanent residency, they must have documents translated by a NAATI translator in Australia. NAATI-certified translators are assessed against national standards for accuracy.
OZTranslationServices bridges the gap between the individual and the NAATI translator for all official bodies. For about ten years, we have connected individuals and legal agencies with NAATI-certified translators, working with more than 5000 migrants, businesses, and organisations. Thus, if your documents are in any language other than English and you need to submit them to government agencies, we are your ideal choice. We offer reliable and quick NAATI-certified document translation services.

What Original Documents Do You Require?
- The translation must be submitted alongside the original document (or a certified copy)
- The translator must link the translation to the original (often stamped/signed together)
What If the Translation is Done Outside Australia?

Do I Need a NAATI Translator for Citizenship Documents?
Yes! The Department of Home Affairs in Australia requires the use of a NAATI translator for translating non-English documents for all citizenship applications. The requirement applies to translations done in Australia; documents translated overseas follow separate rules already described on this page.
When Do You Need Legalisation (Apostille Use) via DFAT?
For documents needing international legalisation via DFAT:

Frequently Asked Questions About NAATI Translation in Australia
What Is NAATI Certification and Why Does It Matter?
NAATI certification ensures that a professional translator meets national standards in Australia. A NAATI-approved translator is authorised to provide accurate and reliable translations for official use. NAATI certification confirms that a translator has passed NAATI’s certification testing and meets Australia’s national standard for official translation. For documents translated in Australia, government bodies, courts and universities require translations produced by a NAATI-certified translator.
Can My MARA Agent Contact You Directly?
Yes, your migration agent can contact us directly. Many clients rely on agents who coordinate with NAATI translation services in Australia to ensure everything is compliant. Our team works closely with agents to deliver accurate translations required for official submissions.
Are You Recognised or Accredited By Any Australian Authority — Like NAATI?
Yes, we provide NAATI services, and every translator can translate official documents, following the requirements of the specific government departments or authorities, ensuring the translated documents meet government standards across Australia, including cities like Perth and beyond.
How Do NAATI Translator Services Compare on Acceptance and Turnaround?
We can translate all documents in 72 hours. If you need it quicker, you can choose the urgent option. You will get all the documents within 12 hours. If you need NAATI translations of personal documents, send us your requirements.
Once I Upload My Documents and Make Payment, Will I Be Able to Track the Progress of My Translations Through the Portal?
You can communicate directly with us to get an update since we are available 24/7. Alternatively, your dedicated project manager will periodically inform you about the progress and updates.
What Risks Do NAATI Translation Services Reduce in Legal Filings?
Using NAATI translation services can reduce legal, financial, and compliance risks in legal filings. Uncertified or inaccurate translations are frequently rejected by courts, tribunals, and the Department of Home Affairs, which can delay proceedings.
Furthermore, legal frameworks differ internationally, and a NAATI-certified translator familiar with legal terminology in both jurisdictions can translate precisely.
Lastly, NAATI translators are bound by the AUSIT Code of Ethics. Therefore, they translate content without adding, omitting, or distorting information. This is also essential, as a signed statement of accuracy by a certified translator can make evidence admissible in court.
Will the Department of Home Affairs Accept My Translations?
Yes, the Department of Home Affairs accepts translations that are certified by NAATI. Any document translated by a NAATI translator is considered valid for immigration and visa applications. This is why translations are often required to meet strict guidelines, and choosing a reliable provider of NAATI services ensures approval without delays.
Do I Need Physical or Digital Copies for My Visa Application?
In most cases, digital copies are sufficient for submission. However, some authorities may request hard copies. As a provider of NAATI translation Australia, we offer both formats. Whether you need regular translation or certified documents, you can choose the format that suits your requirements.
How Do I Upload My Documents?
Uploading your documents is simple. Just submit them through our secure portal in PDF, DOC, or image format. Once received, a professional translator will review and begin the process. OZTranslation Services is one of the premium translation companies in Australia and ensures a smooth and secure workflow for all document types.
Are You Recognised or Certified by Any Australian Authority — Like NAATI?
No agency is recognised or certified by NAATI. NAATI certifies translators, not translation service providers. We have a good network of NAATI-certified translators, assisting people to translate documents for official purposes.
