Q1014. Do I need to translate my Thai National ID card and house registration with NAATI for a student visa?

Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation

You need English translations of your Thai ID card and house registration if those documents are required or submitted for your student visa, but NAATI certification is not automatically mandatory in every situation. Start with the current Subclass 500 instructions and your personalised Department of Home Affairs checklist rather than assuming both documents are compulsory. Translation requirements also depend on whether the translator works inside or outside Australia. If house registration is relevant evidence, confirm which pages are needed, including the address page and the applicant’s entry where applicable. Make sure names match passport spellings and that addresses, relationships, and annotations are translated accurately. Avoid submitting unrelated household members’ information unless the application requirements call for it.
