What you receive

A translation built to be checked

Your translation is compared line by line with your passport and other documents, so it has to be complete and exact.

  • Every field translated, including the notes recorded on the document.
  • Names exactly as on the document, in the same spelling and order.
  • The translator's NAATI stamp and certification statement, showing who translated it and their NAATI credential.
  • Our letterhead with our address and telephone number, so the translation can be traced back to us.

Before you order

What assessing bodies ask for

Each body sets its own rules. Here is what each one says about translations, from its own published requirements.

gavel

The common thread

Every body below asks for the original-language document as well as the English translation. They differ on who may translate: some name NAATI, others ask for an accredited or registered translator. AHPRA does not accept partial ("extract") translations of degrees, diplomas, certificates or transcripts.

Translate it all

Full documents, not extracts

AHPRA states it does not accept extract translations of degrees, diplomas, certificates and transcripts. We translate every page in full, including the grades and the grading scale.

Scans

Colour scans of the originals

Most bodies ask for high-quality colour scans of the original documents rather than certified copies. AHPRA is the exception: it asks for a certified copy of the document that was translated.

Degree + transcript

Usually both are needed

Skills assessments generally ask for the award certificate together with the full academic record. VETASSESS also accepts a European Diploma Supplement in some cases, which many German, Austrian and Swiss universities issue.

What Home Affairs asks of a translation

From the Department of Home Affairs' guidance on documents in languages other than English:

  • Provide the original document together with the English translation.
  • In Australia, use a translator accredited by NAATI.
  • Include the translator's full name, address and telephone number, and qualifications and experience in the language, all in English.

Our certified translations carry the translator's NAATI stamp and certification statement, on our letterhead with our address and telephone number.

What to send us
  • The official document as a PDF, or a clear colour scan where every line is readable.
  • Every page in one file, including the apostille if there is one.
  • Any spelling your names must match on your passport, written in the comments box.
  • The degree certificate and the complete transcript, including any page that explains the grading scale.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do all assessing bodies require a NAATI translator?

No. ANMAC asks for a NAATI-certified translator, and ACS, AHPRA and Trades Recognition Australia name NAATI for translations made in Australia. VETASSESS asks for a registered translation service and Engineers Australia for an authorised translator. Our translations are made by NAATI certified translators and carry the translator's NAATI stamp; check your body's current requirements before you apply.

Do you translate the German grading scale?

Yes. We translate the whole record, including any legend that explains the grading system (for example the German 1 to 6 scale). ACS, for example, asks for a transcript that shows it.

How long does the translation take?

Most degrees and transcripts take 24 to 48 hours. Long transcripts can take longer; you will see the timing with your quote.

Can I get a printed copy?

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.
