NAATI seal
Are the translations valid throughout Australia?
Certified translations produced by NAATI-accredited professionals are widely accepted by government bodies, universities, employers and other Australian institutions.
However, we cannot say for certain that all organisations will automatically accept any format.
Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation, which may require a physical copy bearing an ink stamp, the translation of the apostille, amongst other things additional conditions.
Always check the requirements before placing your order.
Does a NAATI translation require an apostille or legalisation?
There is no single answer that applies to all cases.
The NAATI seal certifies the translation and the translator responsible for it, but the apostille and legalisation are separate procedures.
You may need one of them depending on:
- the country where you will be submitting the document;
- the host institution;
- the type of procedure;
- and the requirements applicable to the original document.
Please check with the relevant organisation before purchasing the service.
How can I check the translator’s credentials?
You can check it using the NAATI’s official tools.
The digital stamp includes a unique QR code. You can also use the professional’s number to view their credentials and the relevant language details.
Do NAATI translations have an expiry date?
Generally speaking, no.
A translation remains valid if it was carried out whilst the translator held a valid accreditation. Current NAATI professional accreditation is renewed every three years, but this renewal does not automatically affect the validity of previous translations.
Some organisations may ask for a recent version, particularly when:
- the source document may have changed;
- the information is valid for a limited period;
- or there are specific internal requirements.
Policies
Will my information remain confidential?
Of course. Documents and personal data are used solely for the following purposes:
