NAATI-Certified Document Translation Package
Short answer
This package covers a complete translation of your document by a NAATI-certified translator, issued with a certification statement, signature and stamp in the format Australian authorities can verify. Delivery is a PDF by email anywhere in the world, with printed copies available on request. Turnaround varies with page count and language pair.
Certified translation work is rarely decided by wording alone. What matters to a case officer is whether the certification format can be verified and whether the applicant's name is spelled identically across every document in the bundle. This package therefore begins with a completeness check of your source files.
What the package includes
- Translation of the entire document, including stamps, reverse-side text and closing endorsements
- Layout that mirrors where each piece of information sits in the original
- Certification statement, signature and stamp of a NAATI-certified translator with the CPN number
- Name spelling checked against the passport bio page across every document in the same bundle
- PDF delivery by email, with a backup copy retained for reissue
- Correction at no extra cost where a rendering departs from the source
What you need to send us
- Colour scans of every page, all four corners visible, no fingers or shadows covering text
- The passport bio page of the document holder, used to fix name spelling
- The reverse side of each document where a stamp or endorsement appears
- The receiving authority and how you will lodge: online portal or printed copies
- Your lodgement date, so multi-step work can be sequenced
How the work runs
- 1Send files and name the destination — Upload complete scans and tell us which authority will receive them, so the certification format is correct from the outset.
- 2Completeness and name check — We check scan legibility and page count, then confirm name spelling against the passport before translation starts.
- 3Translate and review twice — The document is translated in full, then a second linguist checks figures, dates, place names and technical terms.
- 4Certify and stamp — A NAATI-certified translator signs and stamps the translation in a format the receiving authority can verify.
- 5Deliver and archive — You receive the PDF by email; we retain a copy so later submissions can reuse it.
Indicative starting ranges
- NAATI-certified translationTHB 1,500–2,500 per page
Varies with text volume, document type and language pair.
These are indicative starting ranges. The final figure depends on text volume, document type, language pair and the number of copies, and is confirmed once we have seen your files.
What the service fee does not cover
- Fees charged by any government department or embassy
- Courier costs for printed copies, domestic or international
- Consular legalisation or notarial certification, where the destination requires an extra step
- Application fees payable to the receiving authority
Turnaround
Varies with page count and language pair. Short standard documents usually move faster than multi-document bundles. We confirm a timeframe in writing before work begins.
Our advisory role
Before quoting, we check what level of translation your destination actually requires and whether a further certification step follows. If a step is unnecessary, we say so rather than sell it.
Points to watch
- A name spelled differently from the passport is the most common trigger for a request for further information
- Scans missing the reverse side or a stamp produce an incomplete certified translation
- Some authorities set a maximum age for the source document; confirm this before translating
- Translator certification is not consular legalisation; if legalisation is required it is a separate step
Frequently asked questions
Do you need the original paper document?
Clear scans are enough for certified translation. Originals are only needed when a following step, such as notarial certification or consular legalisation, requires paper.
Can I use this from outside Australia?
Yes. Files are sent and returned by email or LINE, so the service works from any country.
Is a PDF accepted for lodgement?
Most Australian authorities accept digital files through their online systems, but some processes ask for printed copies. Confirm with the office receiving your application.
How is the fee calculated?
By page count, text volume, language pair and the timeframe requested. You receive a quote before any work starts.
Can the translation be amended later?
Yes, where the wording departs from the source. We cannot change information so that it differs from the original document.
