What is NAATI Certification?

NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia’s national body responsible for assessing and certifying professional translators and interpreters. It is the only organization recognized by the Australian Government for translation competence across the legal, immigration, and public service sectors.

Translations completed by NAATI-certified translators bear an official stamp and hold high legal validity, accepted by most Australian Government agencies.

When Is NAATI-Certified Translation Required?

NAATI-certified translations are either mandatory or highly preferred for most documents related to immigration, education, employment, marriage, or legal processes in Australia. They serve as proof of accuracy and legality and are officially recognized by government authorities and institutions in Australia. Common situations requiring NAATI-certified translations include:

• Visa applications for immigration, study, or work in Australia: Most Australian visas require personal documents like passports, household registration books, birth certificates, etc., to be translated by NAATI-accredited translators to ensure legal validity and avoid application rejection.
• Marriage registration, birth registration, or civil records involving foreign nationals: When marrying an Australian citizen or registering a child’s birth in Australia, all Vietnamese documents must be translated and certified by NAATI.
• Academic qualifications, transcripts, employment, and financial verification: To be recognized in Australia, academic and financial documents must be translated by NAATI-certified translators.
• Legal, property, insurance, and court-related documents: Documents concerning ownership, disputes, powers of attorney, contracts, or insurance claims must have NAATI-certified translations to ensure legal effectiveness.
• Any situation involving submission to Australian government agencies: Whether applying for a work permit or opening a bank account, NAATI-certified translations are always the safest and most compliant option.

In summary: If you are preparing any documents for submission in Australia, prioritize NAATI-certified translation services to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of rejection.

• Accurate Translation of the Original Document:
  • The entire content must be translated fully and accurately without omissions or personal interpretation.

    • Translator’s full name
    • NAATI certification number
