Can you translate a complete birth certificate?

Yes. Complete certificates can be translated when every entry, annotation, and seal needs to be provided in English. Upload all pages in the correct order.

Do I need a certified birth certificate translation?

That depends on the organisation receiving the document. Where certification is required, a NAATI-credentialled translator provides the relevant certification details with the translation.

Can you translate handwritten birth certificates?

Yes, provided the handwriting is clear enough to read. Upload a high-quality copy so the translator can assess handwritten entries accurately.

How quickly can my birth certificate be translated?

Standard turnaround is from 1 hour for self-service extracts, from 1 business day for extract translations, and from 2 to 3 business days for full translations. These are standard turnaround times rather than guaranteed times.

Which Asian languages do you cover?

Our translators work across major and minor Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Nepali, Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, and many others.

Will my translation be accepted by the authority requesting it?

Our translations are prepared by NAATI-credentialled translators and are suitable for submission to Australian organisations. Each authority sets its own acceptance requirements, so confirm those requirements before ordering.

Can you translate a certificate that uses a different calendar system?

Yes. Dates recorded using a lunar, Buddhist, or other calendar system are translated in a way that presents the recorded information clearly.

Do you translate the stamps and seals on the certificate?

Yes. Stamps, seals, and official markings are described in the translation where they are legible in the copy provided.

What file types can I upload?

Supported formats include PDF, JPG, and PNG. Follow the upload requirements shown on the ordering platform for applicable file-size limits.

Does NAATI certification apply to the certificate itself?

No. NAATI certification relates to the translator's credentials. A NAATI-credentialled translator completes or reviews the translation and provides the certification details with the finished document.
