No appointments and no originals in the post. You can order from a PDF or a scan of your certificate.
Send the PDF, a scan or a clear photo. If your passport spells a name differently, tell us in the comments.
Every field is translated, including notes recorded on the certificate and any apostille.
Typically within 24–48 hours, ready to upload with your application. Add a printed copy by post if you need one.
Your translation is compared line by line with your passport and other documents, so it has to be complete and exact.
You can do all of this from Australia.
Austria keeps a central civil status register, so a birth certificate can be requested at any registry office. Austrian embassies and consulates abroad can also issue one if the birth is already in the central register.
With ID Austria you can get an electronic register extract free of charge through the digital document service.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland also issue an international (multilingual) version under the CIEC conventions. Home Affairs asks for an English translation of documents not in English and publishes no exception for these, so check what your application asks for.
| On the certificate | What it is | In your translation |
|---|---|---|
| Geburtsurkunde | Birth certificate from the central civil status register | Birth Certificate |
| Standesamt | The civil registry office | Registry Office |
| Zentrales Personenstandsregister | Austria's central civil status register | Central Civil Status Register |
From the Department of Home Affairs' guidance on documents in languages other than English:
Our certified translations carry the translator's NAATI stamp and certification statement, on our letterhead with our address and telephone number.
A certified translation reproduces names exactly as they are written on the certificate. If your passport shows a different spelling or order, mention it in the comments when you order so we can discuss it with you before translation starts.
The typical turnaround for a birth certificate is 24 to 48 hours. An urgent option is available when you order.
Home Affairs' evidence guidance asks for the original document and an English translation, not an apostille. If another authority asks for one, the Austrian Embassy in Canberra lists the Foreign Ministry, the provincial governments and the first-instance civil courts; embassies can apostille certificates they issued themselves. An apostille is translated as an extra page.
Yes. The certified translation is always delivered as a PDF by email, and you can add a printed copy sent by post when you order.
