Fee guidelines
Our prices for NAATI certified translations can be as low as $50.00+GST for standard documents, i.e. Driver’s Licence, ID card, Birth, Death, Marriage, Police Clearance or Divorce Certificates. For academic transcripts and diplomas, employment references, medical reports, it will depend on how long the documents are and whether a full translation is required.
From our experience, there are many instances where an extract translation is sufficient for visa purposes. However, always check with your legal representative or the relevant government department (e.g. Department of Immigration, Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages, Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT), Department of Education or Centrelink) to see if this is an option for you. Extract translations are a much cheaper option in cases where you have a very long document but only need the pertinent information translated.
An electronic copy (PDF) of the translation is usually enough, but some departments will require a hard copy with wet signature from the translator, so you should again check requirements with your legal representative or the relevant government department.
Quotes are free and we will give you a firm price prior to commencing your job.
What is an apostille and do I need one?
Overseas governments sometimes need proof that Australian documents are genuine before they accept them. This is called an Apostille or Authentication stamp. You need to check with the government of the relevant country if you need one, as this advice can only be provided by the overseas government you are dealing with.
If an apostille is required, you will need to organise it before getting your Australian document translated. More information can be found on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) website.
What is an a translation affidavit and do I need one?
If you are applying for a divorce in Australia but were married overseas and your marriage certificate is not in English, you will need to have this foreign language marriage certificate translated by a NAATI certified /accredited translator. You will then need to attach both documents together with an Affidavit Translation of Marriage Certificate from the translator, which states 1.their qualifications to translate; 2. that the translation is an accurate translation of the marriage certificate; and 3. that the attached copy of the marriage certificate is a true copy of the marriage certificate translated. Forms are available on the Family Law Courts website.
An affidavit sets out the translator’s qualifications, lists and certifies each source document and lists the associated translations and certifies them as true and correct. Affidavits are usually prepared by the lawyers requesting the translation and need to be sworn or affirmed before a Justice of the Peace, who will stamp and sign each page of the affidavit, source documents (copies) and translations.
Many thanks for such an excellent service, it is much appreciated.
Awesome, thanks a lot.
Thanks for the quick response time.
