Short answer first

Documents submitted to Australian authorities such as the Department of Home Affairs, VETASSESS or universities must be translated by a NAATI-certified practitioner, with the stamp showing the practitioner number and expiry date. Our fee is quoted per document after review and turnaround is 5–7 business days. Send scans first for an exact quote and deadline.

Overall timeline: 5–7 business days per set; PDFs are available before the posted hard copy

    Timing: 3–5 business days

    Stamped with the practitioner number and expiry date, then re-checked against your passport.

    PDF for immediate ImmiAccount upload, stamped hard copy by registered mail if required.

    Timing: 1–2 days

Pitfalls and how to avoid them

Using a translation without a NAATI stamp
Prevention: Australian authorities reject general translations for key documents; the practitioner number and expiry must appear on the page.
Translating from an unclear copy
Prevention: Send high-resolution colour scans to avoid sections being marked illegible.
Name differs from ImmiAccount
Prevention: Use the passport spelling and include a translated name-change certificate where relevant.
Missing the s56 deadline
Prevention: Tell us the due date on day one so the job is queued and delivered ahead of it.

Advice from real cases

  • Translate the transcript and degree certificate together — assessing bodies almost always ask for both.
  • If your surname changed after marriage, always include the translated marriage or name-change certificate.
  • Upload the PDF while the stamped hard copy is still in the post.
