Check the receiving authority, the procedure and where the translation is completed. Visa requirements do not automatically apply to driving licence exchanges or university submissions.
Visa applications: location and translator details
The Home Affairs Subclass 186 guidance distinguishes translators in Australia, who require NAATI accreditation, from translators outside Australia, who do not require that accreditation. Overseas translations must still include the translator's full name, address, telephone number, and relevant language qualifications and experience in English. Check the instructions for your own visa subclass and any individual request letter.
NSW driving licence exchanges
NSW's application guidance specifies accepted translation providers, including the DHA Free Translating Service and Multicultural NSW, with limited provisions for Korean and Taiwanese licence translations. NAATI accreditation alone does not mean a translation will be accepted. We do not offer our standard translation as an accepted Japanese licence translation for this procedure.
Our past experience
We have translated documents for visitor, student, working holiday, employment and permanent residence applications, and rental companies. We have also experienced rejection of our translation for a NSW licence procedure. These are past cases, not current acceptance guarantees or a substitute for official requirements.
Before requesting a quote
Send the procedure name, official requirements, documents, deadline and original-signature requirements. We do not supply translations as NAATI-certified translations. We confirm whether we can meet the specified requirements. Please also confirm the applicable conditions of our refund guarantee when requesting a quote.
