What is a NAATI Certified Birth Certificate Translation?

A NAATI certified birth certificate translation is a translation completed by a translator who holds current accreditation from the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters, the Australian body responsible for setting professional standards for translators and interpreters in Australia.

A NAATI certified translation includes:

  • An accurate translation of all text on the birth certificate including names, dates, places, registration numbers, issuing authority details, and any official stamps or annotations

  • The translator’s full name, NAATI accreditation number and the date of certification

  • A statement confirming the translator’s qualifications and that the translation is a true and accurate rendering of the original document

NAATI certified translations are the accepted standard for official and government purposes across Australia. When submitting a translated birth certificate to the Department of Home Affairs, an Australian court, a university, or any other official body, a NAATI certified translation is what is required.
