All our services: NAATI translation and document certification for overseas use
Short answer
This page lists every service in one place, in four groups: (1) NAATI-certified translation for documents lodged with Australian authorities, (2) certification inside Thailand — legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs, certification by a Notarial Services Attorney, and embassy legalisation, (3) preparation of Thai official records such as civil registration, family registration and police clearance certificates, and (4) preparation by destination — Australian visa groups, skills assessing authorities, and Thai visas and work permits. Ask our staff about fees and turnaround by phone, LINE or email.

Frequently asked questions
Which service do I need?
Start from the authority that will receive the document. Australian authorities normally ask for a translation by a NAATI-certified translator. Thai authorities and some embassies ask for legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs. Private documents such as powers of attorney usually need a Notarial Services Attorney. If you are unsure, send us the request in writing from the authority and we will map the steps.
Can you handle everything if I am outside Thailand?
NAATI translation is fully online: you send scans and receive a signed PDF by email. Steps that require a physical original — legalisation, embassy certification, or attorney certification — need the paper document, which can be handled by an authorised representative in Thailand.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on document type, number of pages, language pair and turnaround. Contact us by phone, LINE or email with the scans and we will quote before any work begins. Government fees are those published by the relevant authority at the time of lodgement.
Do you guarantee my application will be approved?
No. We are responsible for the accuracy and format of translations and for guiding the certification chain. Decisions on visas, registration and qualification assessment rest solely with the receiving authority.
