Q1212. Can a NAATI translator legally translate Thai Juvenile and Family Court orders for child custody?
Answered by NAATI Certified Practitioner · NYC Visa & Translation
Yes, a NAATI-certified Thai-to-English translator can translate Thai Juvenile and Family Court custody orders, although translation does not determine their legal effect in Australia. Submit the complete order, including schedules, court seals, amendments and any subsequent orders affecting custody. Distinguish carefully between parental authority, custody, residence and contact arrangements; these terms should not be treated as interchangeable. Provide established English spellings of all parties’ names and retain the original case references. If the document will support a child’s visa application, confirm the evidence requirements with the Department of Home Affairs. For Australian court proceedings, ask the receiving court whether an affidavit, certified source copy or another procedural requirement applies.
